Hi

There is announcement on Grub main page, and there detailed:

http://grub.org/?q=/node/92

On mailing list i send info only major versions (like 0.6, 0.7. 0.8
etc).

Info about upgrading to new version always appear in announcement. Main
reason of wandering directory - new experimental installer (with Mono
libraries - thus Windows client no longer need separate download of Mono).
Installer was build from start, this generate this bug with wandering
installation directory. Old client directories can be deleted without
problems.

Hmm, then we have a problem, because i can tell only SAA#1: Works for
me ;) I need more detailed info - but this can be produced only by
install client from sources (this is described in INSTALL file bundled
with source release). This error always appear when crawling start or
in any special conditions?
