Users are complaining, even though they should not have to really interact with GRUB if it is working correctly. But more importantly it has totally fractured support among distributions. Those developers looked at GRUB and found the documentation to be so hideous, and the changes so non-obvious and non-trivial that many (maybe most) have decided not to implement. It is not due to laziness that Red Hat continues to hack GRUB Legacy, even for EFI support. > The devs are probably nose on grinder punching code with no time for niceties and I can understand that. Moreover they are the last people qualified for manual writing; most of them are typically illustrious communications nulls. Nothing personal but what is needed is for them to adopt at least one or more WRITERS whom they will painstakingly tutor to the intimate level of familiarity that's required to be able to write a half-descent manual. _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list Help-grub@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
