I will change that to grub-2-faq.en.html before I submit it. I think we should come up with a new list of FAQs here and agree on the answers. I'll be glad to format it. The current questions are: Why do you need to rewrite GRUB? What is the status of GRUB 2? I would remove both of these and and start with: I have questions about GRUB2! What operating systems does GRUB2 support? What hardware platforms does GRUB2 support? How does GRUB2 differ from GRUB Legacy (GRUB1)? How do I create a GRUB2 boot floppy? How do I create a GRUB2 boot CD-ROM? How are partitions specified? That seems to be very different from the notation in my operating system... How do I uninstall GRUB2 from my hard disk drive? I installed GRUB, but it just hangs up. What now? ----------- What others would you suggest? By the way, validator.w3.org says grub-2-faq.en.html has 24 errors, but that cascades errors. I only see 5 errors. I imagine the page is formatted by a standard header + body + standard footer, but there is one html error in the header too: ... alt="image of the Head of a GNU" width="129" height"122" /> height is missing an = sign. -- Bruce
