This includes a boot sector and a /boot/grub directory with default options, but doesn't include any kernel or any rescue operating system in it. You can do with it all the GRUB console allows: install GRUB on hard disk, boot an installed OS, browse installed filesystems, etc. > then I'd suggest to not make an extra package out of it and > waste 1.4MB for it :-) It is _not_ taking 1.4 MB. GRUB is very small and the whole disk just takes 88 KBs. > Write a 50-line shell skript that > - makes a filesystem > - copies /boot/grub > - copies a given kernel image > - installes grub > and put this script into the grub package where everybody > already misses it... It's called mkbimage, Jason added it to the grub package some time ago. All grub-disk does is putting together the files and using mkbimage to build the disk image. If you feel comfortable with mkbimage, then grub-disk is probably not for you. -- Robert Millan make: *** No rule to make target `war'. Stop. Another world is possible - Just say no to genocide
