Yes, I do know that - see my first email. But GRUB-PC is also an obsolete name - and at least you understood what I meant by GRUB1 and GRUB2 however incorrect the nomenclature - and I did know it was incorrect/obsolete. I was just trying to be unambiguous. In which I succeeded. Once you just say "GRUB", you have to know to which version of Debian one is referring, to know which GRUB is meant. Lisi
