Re: [arch-general] Quick question about post-MBR gap?

Indeed it is easy to put a gap between the MBR and the first partition when partitioning from scratch - the main issue is for anyone with a pre-existing (non-linux) partition at the start of the hard drive containing an OEM installed Windows system or HPA recovery area or similar

You can make grub just use a pointer (I forget the name) in the MBR and actually use the start of any partition instead. Have you already downloaded the grub 2 manual, it is explained in there anyway. Apologies if I haven't looked hard enough at your mails. -- ________________________________________________________ Why not do something good every day and install BOINC. ________________________________________________________
