CAE Linux (and Win7) got all the right drivers, but Reactos (and XP) did not.
Is there a way to do this better?  I got reactos from sourceforge, so it
should be up to date ie Reactos doesn't have wifi, CAELinux does (yes I
reinstalled without the partitions, whose intallation seems to have killed
CAEL's wifi)


Also, I overwrote Reactos over Xp (over W7) and the MS boot menu still lists
XP as an option, but of course, it's not there.  Then CAE Linux (ubunto) puts
the three MS Options (MSDOS, Reactos, XP) in a submenu called XP.  I looked
at the various grub2 files and they are not as simple as Grub1 Is there a way
to make this easier, less error prone?

Here is my old grub.cfg from dos-xp-quantian
Can it be this simple now?
