Perhaps the objectives do not need to be changed, but I'll bet the questions do. There have been a lot of changed to GRUB-1.9x in the last couple of years. It has become a lot more complicated than GRUB-0.97 or lilo. It is a mini operating system all by itself. As a minimum, even simple GRUB questions need to specify the GRUB version. (Partially tongue-in-cheek) Perhaps there needs to be a 3xx exam on GRUB or on booting in general. -- Bruce _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list lpi-examdev@lpi.org http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
