It should be a no brainer easy thing based on what I know. The fact that it's not means there is something i don't know that's standing in the way. I'd like to know what that is. I'd also like to understand the boot loader thing better too. I didn't think anything we'd merged was a huge hassle. Maybe the two are related. Maybe there is some left over config that caused both? Maybe it's two different things. In either even, I'd like to understand... Warner > Scott >
