I suggest someone should replace grub-legacy with syslinux as the recomended bootloader in the Beginner's Guide (I do have a wiki account but skeptical about editing the "Guide" wiki article myself).
This should only be done if and only if syslinux can completely replace grub-legacy. This is not the case until it doesn't support multiboot systems. Chainloading of different linux distros from different partitions is not possible in syslinux as far as I know. If syslinux will hopefully once support multiboot systems I'll second this. And that grub-legacy is not developed anymore by upstream doesn't mean that it doesn't work anymore. For me it's still stable and has more features than syslinux. Heiko
