[plug] grub

[Simon Scott]

	I was going to say, d'Silva is a Portuguese name

	What is also funny is that sometimes portuguese take the last name
of their mother AND father, so you end up with a god-aweful mess, especially
since everyone has the middle name of 'Maria'

	I wont even try to write my girlfriend's mother's name, but its
impressive :)

	We spent 3 months in Madeira (where her parents live) and it is
quite a remarkable place. Go there if you want to see an amazing place.

	Thanks Fabricio.

	I, as I mentioned on the post, managed to change the boot over to
lilo.

	But in general I don't make boot floppies because I find floppies
too
	unreliable.  It's probably because the drive sits unused for months
	collecting dust.

	I was hoping you were going to offer a translation of the Spanish
hits
	I'd found . .

	We have a few d'Silva names here, but no Anjos Silva.  A number of
	Portugese people came here in the 1950/1960 era and mostly worked
	plantations.

	K.
