Hello from Gregg C Levine Would anyone mind if I comment? Good. How do I go about downloading the code that makes up GRUB2? To my mind it's not at all very clear. I can, convince the CVS stores for GRUB Legacy to download to my Linux box without fail, and have done so on many occasions, but for GRUB2, I'm confused.
I confess that I found the web pages to be rather confusing at first glance. ----- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- "Remember the Force will be with you. Always."
