How can we stay on top of all this flow?  Its tough.  We have the
people bickering over shells and Linux versus Solaris and then the
guys that are actually trying to code.  Myself and a few others are
working on GRUB2 for the PowerPC port and fighting towards a netboot
of the PowerPC based kernel while there is a pile of noise about
bourne shell versus bash for root.  So the signal to noise ratio can
be a bit more messy than some mailling lists like the POVRay UNIX ml
or ClamAV or GRUB2 mailing lists.  Such is life.

Oh, you want the pretty graphic and the menu.lst to work ?

I didn't bother trying actually :-)  I sort of got what I wanted and
then ran along without looking back at legacy GRUB.  Kind of a coward
huh?  Sorry .
