Please disregard. Ok. I got grub-1.98.tar.gz yesterday when looking for the current grub-mkrescue. > Feel free to ask. But please use current versions. The urge to upgrade might earn you a whining user. I will backup the 31.5 kB of pre-partition space and the Debian partition. So hopefully i can always roll back. ------------------------------------------------ > > What number of sectors/head and heads/cylinder > 63/255 as its what is reported on most harddisks.

I'll assume 63/255 and truncate C/H/S shortly before 8 GB. ------------------------------------------------ > http://developer.apple.com/legacy/mac/library/documentation/mac/Files/Files-2.html The interesting part seems to begin at http://developer.apple.com/legacy/mac/library/documentation/mac/Files/Files-99.html (I hate that "Legacy Document" overlay) > Bad news are that it needs B* trees Do i find that in Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" ?
