And when it comes to system recovery, just a bootloader is too little
for me.

Here some features that SGD do and that Grub don't do in a direct way:

        Restore Grub on the MBR automatically.
Boot Linux automatically (No need to specify the partition where the Linux it is... no need to have a menu.lst... SGD loads the kernel) Boot your os again (Searches for the first menu.lst on the hard disk and loads it)
        GUI. No need to know any commands to use it.
        Command. fexists tells if a file exists or not.

You could make Super Grub Disk more popular if you include it with a
recovery LiveCD.
SGD is only included in Ultimate Boot CD right now.

It would work better as a part of a larger project
aimed at recovery and system configuration tasks.  Something you would
boot to resize partitions, to install BIOS updates, to backup whole hard
drives.
That's what my friend J.C. is supposedly working at. ;)



I don't know what "lsts" means, but generally bugs should be submitted
upstream.
By lsts... I mean configfile... the files that end on lst.


Oh, I didn't realize that the one of the goals of Super Grub Disk is to
fix existing GRUB installs.  Then indeed it makes sense to stay with
GRUB Legacy.
Yes. It is. Fixing GRUB install after a Windows reinstall is the task that SGD should accomplish at the perfection.

You don't need a CVS system.  It's too obsolete.  Subversion is much
better.
I was talking about CVS as general.

See you.
