Please don't. We don't auto-install grub during the initial install, |
8 |
so we have NO idea how users have set up grub1. I'd rather not try to |

automate the grub2 migration. For all we know they aren't even using |
10 |
it to boot. |

Interesting - it looks like I don't even have grub "installed" - the |
13 |
hardware on my current box has probably changed twice since I |
14 |
installed Gentoo on it so an install-once thing like grub that is |
15 |
safely tucked away in an unmounted /boot probably got out of sync. |

I'd think that a typical Gentoo user would want some control over |
18 |
their grub installation. A good guide and a news announcement of the |
19 |
upcoming change probably would be sufficient. |
