+All FUD
+
+Have any of you actually installed grub2 in Cauldron and read
+/usr/share/doc/grub2/README.Mageia and then actually tried it?
+
+This can be done without upsetting your grub legacy installation in any way.
+
+I have been using grub2 with Mageia since Mga1 and multibooting a dozen
+or more distros including grub legacy and grub2.
+
+I am currently running Cauldron with only grub2 installed and NOT to the
+MBR.
+
+I have just net installed current cauldron (so really mga3b2) with grub2
+(not in MBR) and can multiboot straight into it.
+(at present there is an issue with the installer so the install just
+needs to be aborted at the bootloader install stage to do this)
+<A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8742">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8742</A>
+
+As regards the background - grub2 picks up the current default Mageia
+artwork from the system on install, so this should be automatic.
+
+All these fears are, AFAICT unfounded.
