Grub2 looping Links

[Phill Whiteside]

Okay,

I'll let you know of of my archived area where I would discuss things
before they ever got to Wiki. There is a lot on that site from a lot more
than may have been suspected on the initial grub stuff [1].

It is my archive area of what some very good people were involved in. The
links that people use to send to that area, even though it is dormant I
promised to keep active. So far, so good :)

By the way, do feel free to have a wander over that area, you will see some
links are still used.

The google advert thing right at the bottom was put on there as proof of
concept for another person who uses phpBB (Hence it being as far out of the
way as possible). Clicking on it makes no monetary advantage to me, so
don't bother clicking!

Regards,

Phill.
