Grub2 external link 4 fails

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
+1

Btw it made me think of a side issue that is completely irrelevant to this particular case ...  
As you edit pages please be aware that there might be some spam worth taking out.  If you are on a Gnu&Linux system such as Ubuntu or a BSD one or even a Mac then you are likely to be fairly safe but still please take care not to give out personal information such as your real name and address or phone numbers.  

Usually spam is disappointingly obvious.  After all the trouble they have gone through to crack into our systems you would hope that they were a lot more sophisticated but generally by the time they get in they are either in a panic or exhausted or something so we just end up with blatant rubbish.  Often the edit was made by someone who has already been chucked out so maybe they are working against a tight deadline too.  Sometimes i wonder if i should help them a bit, so that at least the spam looks more professional because at the moment it looks like we get cracked into by any old moron or script-kiddie.  Still, take care because i am sure that one day we might find some spam-links that are quite clever.  


I think this time though it's just an out-of-date link and i think that is more common than spam.  It was probably meant to go to an insightful blog or article or perhaps to Mac's equivalent of microsoft.com.  The suggested link looks good enough until sometime in the future if we ever stumble onto a  more official page that isn't too dumbed-down or geeky and happen to remember to come back to the Grub2 page.  

Regards from 
Tom :)

Hi :)  I would appreciate any help/advice.

In https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2

Link 4 under External Links reads Mac OS X (XNU) Support 
with link address  http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd
 
the result is a link to 
webaddresshelp.bt.com/main?InterceptSource.....  

which advises    
Sorry, the website grub.enbug.org cannot be found. 

I suggest a correct link might be 

http://dbstechy.co.uk/support_for_apple_mac_osx.html

Martin
