Multislot is a downstream feature that renames parts of grub-2.x to |
| 9 |
grub2-* instead of grub-* so that grub-0.x and grub-2.x can be on the |
| 10 |
system at the same time. My understanding is that it is there to make |
| 11 |
switching back and forth between grub-0 and grub-2 easier . In my |
| 12 |
opinion, the better choice is to turn it off. |
