But 0 for the first drive is nonsensical. Kostas Sfakiotakis: > Grub starts it's numbering from 0. I know that, I'm saying it's not user-friendly, nor has it ever been. Remember when we only had floppy drives? Some computers with two drives had drives "zero" and "one", which is sheer stupidity in human terms. Other more practical systems called them drive "one" and "two". It causes no end of problems because you HAVE to explain to someone that it starts counting from zero instead of one. On the other hand, you wouldn't have to explain things to people if they counted normally. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
