Correct!
I.e. when installing 'GRUB2' Mageia-3, will there be an option to use
GRUB-Legacy instead?
The reason I ask is that:
(1) On my desktop I use the excellent GAG bootloader in the MBR, and it cannot
boot GRUB2 installs. See e.g.:
<A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/gag/forums/forum/230439/topic/3533186">http://sourceforge.net/projects/gag/forums/forum/230439/topic/3533186</A>
<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAG_%28boot_loader%29">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAG_%28boot_loader%29</A>
(2) On my netbook, I chainload via a GRUB-legacy Mageia MBR, where the Mageia
menu.lst picks up all the other installs. (This includes the GRUB2 Ubuntu and
Mint, whose GRUB2 menu's purport to boot the GRUB-legacy installs but fail to
do so, hence though I know how to chainload from a GRUB-legacy menu.lst into a
GRUB2 boot install, I do not know how to boot into a GRUB-legacy install from a
GRUB2 menu. If you see what I mean...
Those are just some of the reasons why I would like to avoid - or postpone -
conversion to GRUB2, the need for which I still fail to comprehend.
