[libreoffice-users] New release of Grub2.00 for alpha testing

2012-06-25 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
Ok, so grub2 has had a lot of releases and updates in the last year or so but 
this is the big one (well big 2 i guess).  If you don't know what Grub is then 
just ignore this thread as it probably doesn't affect most people here.  

If anyone is interested in testing this pre-beta release then i would recommend 
using an old hard-drive and unplugging your main one!  It 'should' be fine but 
it is pre-beta so it may have weirdnesses.  

From the grub devs list where Vladimir posted this a couple of days ago ... 
Hello, all. I'm proud to introduce 2.00~rc1 to you.
It's available as
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.00~rc1.tar.gz
or
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.00~rc1.tar.xz
As far as I'm aware all issues have been either postponed or resolved
correctly, so I'll release 2.00 on Monday. Give ~rc1 a spin over the
weekend and report any issues.

Good luck and regards from

My test system (openSUSE 12.2.Beta2) is running Grub2 and LibreOffice 
3.5.3.2. No problems so far. Did not effect my other disks.

It may effect Windows systems, as I don't run Windows.

Hi :)
Windows uses NtLdr instead of Grub so i guess you are talking about not having 
a dual-boot system.  Hmm, not sure about Win7 and Vista but perhaps still the 
same one.  

Most system running Grub2 are actually on Grub 1.98 or around there.   I 
don't know how to find out what i am on.  
Regards from
Tom :)
