I think the above misses the _why_ The announce only mentions the new, the proposed, location. I'm happy with the removal of the full paths, but not happy with /usr/sbin Please allow to "grub install" _without_ the filesystem _/usr mounted_. So either move it to /bin or /sbin, both are mounted when in single user mode (as mostly used for recovery) Cheers Geert Stappers
