Hi,
Because too many people use this mailing list for questions and patches
that are not related to GRUB 2 I prepared a patch for the webpage.
There are two things that I have changed.
1) I made clear that the GRUB version most people use is GRUB Legacy
and that when they are in doubt they can assume they use GRUB
Legacy. I can imagine people do not know which GRUB version they
use and assume they use the newest (GRUB 2).
2) I changed the CVS checkout example from GRUB 2 to GRUB Legacy.
If someone has another suggestion to prevent confusion, please tell
me. As I know very little about webpages (and because of the lack of
interest in webpages) all I will do for the GRUB webpage is updating
the text.
Okuji, can I commit this patch?
Thanks,
Marco
