And since you can install both it may be a good idea to get legacy grub |
| 20 |
working before unmerging grub2. If something goes wrong you just need to |
| 21 |
chroot and run grub2-install (or whatever it's called). |

The grub-static package is most useful for amd64 systems without a 32-bit |
| 24 |
ncurses. I believe it ships a prebuilt ncurses static library. |
