I haven't had any input to the GRUB4DOS package, it is created by shinobar, maintainer of Japanese Puppy.rcrsn51 wrote:Now that Quirky is using GRUB4DOS, there is an interesting change in philosophy. In previous Puppies, installing GRUB's stage1 code to the MBR was seen as dangerous and there were warnings about doing so.
However, the GRUB4DOS installer only installs to the MBR with no warnings about potential side effects with the other existing operating systems.
In fact, the safest way to install GRUB, onto the partition boot sector, does not appear to be supported in GRUB4DOS.
If there are better ways for GRUB4DOS to work, maybe you could take it up with shinobar?
