In what way. As far as I can tell I haven't gotten a grub upgrade in the last 5-7 years. Since it is built static on amd64 (or at least it was when I last installed it) nothing ever breaks. Maybe if I changed my boot partition to a different filesystem it might have issues, but grub just strikes me as one of those aint-broke-don't-fix things. By all means push out the new version, make docs, ewarn the user and all that. I just don't see the point in having something messing with the MBR unless it is more likely to break if we don't. Rich
