This is not grub's business. We already provide an option to chainload grub2 from grub-legacy. I think that's enough for the vast majority of users. Just backing up /boot and restoring it wouldn't help. The MBR and in case of grub-legacy also the embed are between MBR and 1st partition would also need to be backuped. And why should we make a mini-OS which restores the backup automatically. Live CDs can be used fine to restore it. You only need to make the backup yourself. -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
