What a dumb, ignorant comment. Installation to a partition does not |
| 17 |
work due to technical limitations, and the grub developers have no |
| 18 |
interest in spending time working around them. They don't give a crap |
| 19 |
about taking over your PC. |

grub can be configured to boot multiple linux distros from a single |
| 25 |
config file. Generating said config file can be a bit of work, but |
| 26 |
it's definitely doable. |
