If I understand correctly, discover was moved to discover1 so that discover2 could become the "default" discover. There was some discussion back in March on the debian-boot list about this transition. http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2004/03/msg04517.html The kicker is the comment about "drop discover1 when discover (2) provides all the features we need and works well" If discover1 is still available, does this mean discover2 is not yet providing the necessary features? My assumption is that discover _will_ be preferred over discover1 but it's unclear is this is the current situation. I would use discover1 until apt actually decides to replace it with discover. This seems to be the intent of the maintainers. -- Eric Gaumer <gaumerel@ecs.fullerton.edu>
