Package: grub
Version: 0.95+cvs20040624-17
Severity: serious
Last time I used update-grub (a while ago, Jan 2005, I think!), it
automagically added these entries at the end (the repetitiveness I can
cope with, although it was buggy!)
But when I ran the testing version, these entries were not included in
my menu.lst. Good job I noticed: for all that I dislike Windows, I
still have to use it for some work-related stuff :/
Also, it didn't detect Linux distros on other partitions. What's up?
Thanks!
