I have too many people contradicting each other here and feel I need a working example that would settle the feasibility of doing this thing. Help is help only when it really helps solve the problem. There is too much of this "Go get lost and read about it at such an such a place". I don't have a trillion years to figure this out. And, I'm not the least interested in finding out WHY I cannot do this thing. That's why I want an example, (at least 2 machines with different OS). Oddly enough and if the issue is so simple, why has no one an example to provide me even though it is a "simple" chore for the boot informed -- which obviously I'm not because it does not seem simple to me -- but then I'm dense.
As others are saying, it really is rather hard to determine what you are trying to do, so I have hung back. Again, as others are hinting, it is not clear WHY you want to do this. All that is clear to me, is that you have hit on 'this' as 'the way' to solve your problem, but you need help because you are not clear what 'this' is. Perhaps you would tell us what you 'business problem' is, ie WHY you want to do this? That way, the seasoned hands with GRUB will understand what you are trying to do and will probably come up with a way, if there is one. And people with a different slant on your problem might be able to suggest other approaches? Would this be any good to you? rgds Vince Littler
