GRUB webpage

Hi,

Because too many people use this mailing list for questions and patches
that are not related to GRUB 2 I prepared a patch for the webpage.

There are two things that I have changed.

1) I made clear that the GRUB version most people use is GRUB Legacy
   and that when they are in doubt they can assume they use GRUB
   Legacy.  I can imagine people do not know which GRUB version they
   use and assume they use the newest (GRUB 2).

2) I changed the CVS checkout example from GRUB 2 to GRUB Legacy.

If someone has another suggestion to prevent confusion, please tell
me.  As I know very little about webpages (and because of the lack of
interest in webpages) all I will do for the GRUB webpage is updating
the text.

Okuji, can I commit this patch?

Thanks,
Marco
