Default GRUB on Slackware

I decided to install GNU grub-0.93 and look at all the GNU referenced
howto links for grub, and now have it succesfully installed on the Master
Boot Record of my PC, as well as a boot floppy, and even have a 14-color
graphic (using gimp) that I got from Slackware Propaganda in xpm.gz
format. My PC boots up nicely with a Slackware GNU Linux graphic while
waiting to select from the grub menu (using /boot/menu.lst). The grub
floppy is especially nice for emergencies, disasters, and such where it
boots much quicker than a lilo boot disk, and even has an option to put
grub back on the MBR if need be. Anyway, thought I'd share my grub
experiences with you folks.
