   GAG (and MBR GRUB legacy loaders) and GR

   From: maurice@nomail.afraid.org   
      
   Whilst playing around with Mageia-2 and Mageia-3-Alpha2 on my netbook,   
   I also tried (whilst investigating Fn functions)  installation of   
   Ubuntu 12.04 and Mint 13 KDE.   
     Of course, Mageia not yet using GRUB2 and the oher two now using it   
   meant that Mageia's GRUB Legacy MBR installation did not pick up the   
   other two installs (which use GRUB2), and vice-versa.   
      
   There are, I found, ways of overcoming this mismatch, such as described   
   here:   
      
     http://sourceforge.net/projects/gag/forums/forum/230439/topic/3533186   
      
   and the problem GAG has in booting a GRUB2 partition here:   
      
     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAG_%28boot_loader%29   
      
   Can anyone recommend one or the other, or suggest other solutions,   
   please?
