'make install' does. IIRC, it does. (LILO or grub, actually). I decided to whack the system and move back to Gentoo. I was running out of time to mess with the system, as I was held from doing any work then. The system is fast enough that it took only a few hours to compile on Saturday while I was at the Gopher hockey game, and it's up and running smoothly in an environment that I already know how to manage. Knoppix-STD was a quick-fix that I used because I knew my old hardware was slow enough that I had zero time to spend before getting any actual work done. It was only later that I learned I would, after all, be getting some new hardware. Had I known from the start, I would've cross-compiled gentoo from the get-go and have had no downtime when I got everything for the new system. Lesson learned, I guess.
