It sucks bad for few reasons. 1)It resides on a partition rather than partition boot sector making it live at the mercy of OS. 2)That OS is windows. 3)It has to get installed on first partition. 4)Given the number of times I have formatted windows just to gain some space on c:, I would better not put my boot loader like that. I always install every program on windows on a separate partition. (Of course barring OS). But c: keeps on filling, albeit at a much slower rate. I never found where that space goes. Perfect illustration of entropy. It exists but you can't prove it unless you refer to something else. Never tried grub but I am happy with lilo. Given that it does not suffer 1024 voodoo anymore, it would live for me till IDE disks are in PC or linux BIOS is a strandard world wide.. Shridhar P.S. Adding noatime for all partitions on my home machine, I reduced KDE startup time from 30 sec. to 25 sec. Good enough improvement I would say. Make a LOST out of it? _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
