It's very nice that you are working this hard now. It is really nice to see someone is working on the PC specific code again. I am looking forwards to the release.

Ok, fine for me. > Currently, I believe that PC support is the priority, because people just > stick to GRUB Legacy, and do not take part in GRUB 2.

For me PC support is very important, although I work more on PPC support. Please tell us when you think there is a problem for the PC support caused by another port. > As I guess contributors in GRUB do not like to be specified what they should > do, I'm not going to specify milestones for release management. No, that would not be wise. But having a good prioritized TODO list is important and people pick up the TODO items quite well. Thanks, Marco
