I sort of recall someone telling me to use grub-static when I did my |
| 11 |
install on my new amd64 rig. I have the regular version on my x86 rig. |

I also checked the website, I couldn't find anything on the static |
| 15 |
reasoning either. Since legacy grub is sort of dying anyway, I'm not |

In closing, use plain grub for x86 and grub-static for 64 bit. I know |

that works. |
