While I think there isn't a reason to not use grub2, you can use 0.97 |
| 16 |
and don't stay on 2012, that table on distrowatch only has served the |
| 17 |
porpouse of confusing you, ignore it, packages in gentoo don't work |
| 18 |
that way, for many packages there's not only one version available you |
| 19 |
can build(usually stable, testing, and even directly from git), if you |
| 20 |
want to know what package versions are available go to |
| 21 |
https://packages.gentoo.org/. you can choose to install grub or grub 2 |
| 22 |
by selecting the slot 0 for grub. learning about slots is up to you. |
