I just reread all my posts in this thread having this same exact subject line
as this, and see no question I posed other than the one you just answered, so
I don't know what you think I ought to ask him. Note that I have a
<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">grub-devel at gnu.org</A> subscription, so if you were to pose the "question" there
I would automatically get a copy and be able to follow any ensuing dialog.
Since my last post, I learned that the M2 on host t2240 I was referring to
possibly installing Grub2 on is actually only reporting as M2, as its
urpmi.cfg is pointing to Cauldron. So, I suppose I could just go ahead and
install from Cauldron if and when time permits - after deciding whether to
keep it as is WRT installed packages, switch repos to M2, or update it to
Cauldron (or M3 if it's been forked already).
