I'm just wondering, what are the benefits& drawbacks of turning on
"static" USE flag for sys-boot/grub?
I seem to remember it has something to do with whether you're using
32bit vs 64bit, but I can't be certain.
I sort of recall someone telling me to use grub-static when I did my
install on my new amd64 rig. I have the regular version on my x86 rig.
I think you are correct Paul.
I also checked the website, I couldn't find anything on the static
reasoning either. Since legacy grub is sort of dying anyway, I'm not
surprised.
In closing, use plain grub for x86 and grub-static for 64 bit. I know
that works.
