Subject: making the --no-floopy option of grub-install more descriptive
Date: Fri, 29 May 2009 14:05:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1243598750.3544.9.camel@fz.local> (raw)
Hi,
on a Debian bug report [0] someone complained that the --no-floppy
option should be better documented in the man page, because it only
works if device.map doestn't exist or --recheck is given and he was
confused of this.
But it's generated from the --help output and I'm not that sure to make
it longer.
Or would something like this be okay?
