can anyone tell me if the *_STAGE1_5 are obsolete with GRUB 0.95?
Is that why the version number goes down one when I include them in the hdd install \
of GRUB?

Subject: newbie question(s)



hello, 
I just signed up today so please forgive me if I ask a repeated question. 
I wanted to find out, is it normal for the version number to go down by one when \
installing GRUB to the HDD?  I got a hold of a *.img file that when written to a \
floppy and booted to, it displays the 0.95 version number.  If I follow some HOW-TOs \
for installing GRUB on the HDD by copying the stage1 and 2 files as well as the \
*_stage1_5 files to a /boot/grub directory and then run setup(hd*) from the GRUB \
command line then the version number drops to 0.94.

Is this supposed to happen? Did I do something wrong or am I following some outdated \
install guides?
