While that's currently true, I expect that to change quite soon. At a minimimum, Ubuntu is attempting to change to grub2 for new installations during the 9.10 Karmic development cycle; in fact, grub2 by default will land for the Alpha 2 images intended to be released later this week, barring some unforeseen issue: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2009-June/000573.html I suspect other distributions will move to grub2 in the near future as well. So if you want to ensure that grub2 works with your hardware and setup, now's probably a good time to test it out. -- Steve Beattie <[email protected]> http://NxNW.org/~steve/
