Re: Fun abusing grub...

[Christopher Caldwell]

Greetings,

The major thing preventing me from installing more was simply the amount
of disk space on this poor thing.  I wanted to have reasonably full
installations (since this is a reference machine).  Given smaller
subsets of the varios OSs, I could surely have done more...

I would like to have installed Solaris, OS2 and perhaps a few more Windows
like thingies but it wasn't going to happen.

In any case, to the coders (and contributors) of GRUB, I thank you!
