1. I have never yet found a way to tell grub to boot Win XP - it |
| 6 |
always either reboots endlessly, or stops after complaining |
| 7 |
that it can't find its boot loader. |

2. It's much easier to install other distros if they have their |
| 9 |
own boot partition to play in. SuSE, for instance, seems |
| 10 |
to be unable to combine its own image with all the |
| 11 |
existing ones, so I have to go grubbing around the disks |
| 12 |
looking for images to make grub.conf entries. |

No, I didn't fall into that trap. And you're right, the grub-static ebuild |

says: |

DEPEND="!sys-boot/grub" |
