It's hardly obsolete if you multiboot, even with only two OS installations. When you have many, it's convenient and a good safety device to have at least one /boot with Grub that gets touched only
That's a good point and absolutely true, but if you have many OSes installed you're (A) a heretic ;) and (B) probably not using the machine to work with but more to experiment with. i haven't had a 3-OS machine set up in ... nearly 10 years (back in the days when it was fun to try to pack them all on a 420MB drive). -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.
