Let me guess... Updating a Windows 2000 box after a fresh install? And nope...
I will not port GRAB to Windows! ;^) Not to mention I am sure it would violate
some of M$'s licenses, free downloads from internet, automated installs (no 
place to agree to a EULA, and press next)!

I just want to make sure that I emphasized this enough... Anacron will read
the /etc/cron.*/ directories and run all of the scripts in there at the
appropriate times. So running 'grab --mkcron' will not only make an entry for 
cron, but also anacron.

You may have gotten this already, but after I reread my post, it did not sound 
clear to me. 

Hope that helps...
