[gentoo-user] [OT] How to do GRUB2 multiple partions on USB key?
I've been using LILO for over 15 years, but I'm a total newbie at GRUB2, so the following may be totally out to lunch. Would the following setup work for a USB key with multiple partitions with a different OS or variant in each partition? GRUB2 in MBR * extended partition 1 covers entire USB key * logical partition 5, ext2fs, 1 megabyte, containing directory /boot/grub containing file menu.lst * logical partition 6, ext2fs, containing an OS * logical partition 7, ext2fs, containing an OS * etc, etc Assuming that the key shows up as /dev/sdb, would the entries in menu.lst for partions 6 and 7 be (hd1,5) and (hd1,6), respectively? And what would be the command to install GRUB2 to the MBR of the USB key? -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications

The default setting of the text useflag in xmlto was changed from on to off.
Now portage wants to reinstall xmlto without USE=text (because of the changed
useflag, I assume you used "emerge -uDNav" or similar), but can't do that
(because xdg-utils needs the useflag on).
I admit the output is not really optimal. :) It helped to look at the git
history of xmlto.
