We're supposed to be replacing GRUB Legacy with GRUB 2, *that* is the reason we rewrote GRUB almost from scratch. This gives us plenty of room for newer/fancier stuff. For example GRUB 2 is portable, and it's being ported to a number of platforms. But we haven't even finished exploiting the current design and we're already discussing major changes to the GRUB core. Isn't this something for GRUB 3 ? Distributors want something which does the job and is first and foremost stable and robust. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
