Re: [ANNOUNCE] Red Hat Linux 9 XFS DVD Released

I think the problem it when the files are copied to /boot/grub and not 
necessarily
when grub is installed.
I still thing the best it to do a remount,ro then a remount,rw
the remount read only code has special code to sync the fs.


Moving the order grub is installed isn't hard it just requires moving it in
the pkgorder file that is feed to genhdlist.
ofcourse getting that order is a bit annoying ... the rpmtools from the 
mandrake distro
seem to work quite well.
