The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Yes, except AFAIK you need either lilo or mbr on the first disk to do fun 
stuff like booting off of the second disk, or from an extended partition, so 
you loose some functionality by using the original MBR.

Also, I presume the original MBR is not freeware, so we cannot ship it, so 
when starting with a disk that has had the original MBR removed for some 
reason, what should we do ?

Cheers, Phil.
