new version of grub

The version of grub that comes with gentoo 1.4rc2 is grub 0.92. I worked with another distro and wanted to use grub with it so I downloaded grub version 0.93. Here ia what I found:

1. There are 3 types of grubs(0.93): one for floppy, another for binary and the third is the source tarball.

2. The binary one contains only the directory(/boot/grub/*) and therei is no grub program and I am at a lost how to run it.

3. The source tarball is also strange: after installing it(./configure && make && make install) the grub run but there is no /boot/grub directory. And it kept asking no stage1 found!

I am familiar with grub so I hope somebody make an attempt to try the new version grub 0.93 before answering. :wink:

Your answer is way off the question.

Sorry ...
If you are trying to manually install GRUB, you may need to create /boot/grub/ and copy the stage* files from /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/

My next question is : Why are you using another distro besides Gentoo ? :wink:
