Felix, I think that it is time to stop this shit. I know, as others know
by now, that your love - and you won't move from it because you are
stuck in a time warp - is grub legacy, and that you don't want anything
to do with grub2. That is fine with me - I have no hassles with this. As
I mentioned to you a while back, "Whatever turns you on" (or was that
"Whatever makes you happy"?).
You have taken what I wrote out of context and then go to pontificate
about it.
If you read in toto what I wrote then what I wrote is perfectly correct.
If you want to nitpick then do it on your own time.
However, what you DID write above is correct - if what I wrote was
dealing with another situation.
