We had this discussion before. See: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2007-06/msg00208.html And: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2007-07/msg00086.html (funny that we all forget things so easily ;-)) I think Okuji makes valid points. How about using the tracker in savannah? It's certainly better than using the mailing list as a bug tracker ;-) -- Robert Millan I know my rights; I want my phone call! What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak? (as seen on /.)
