1 I'd like to to install winusb, and it appears to depend on grub-2:
2
3 $ sudo emerge -av winusb

5 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

15 Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]

17 However, I'm prefectly happy with grub-0.97, and want to continue
18 using it. If I let portage install grub:2, is it going to interfere
19 with my continued use of grub:0?
20
21 Since grub-2.02 is being installed in a new slot, one would assume it
22 won't interfere with continue use of grub-0.97...
23
24 Right?
