Yes, I do know that - see my first email.  But GRUB-PC is also an obsolete 
name - and at least you understood what I meant by GRUB1 and GRUB2 however 
incorrect the nomenclature - and I did know it was incorrect/obsolete.  I was 
just trying to be unambiguous.  In which I succeeded.  Once you just 
say "GRUB", you have to know to which version of Debian one is referring, to 
know which GRUB is meant.
