newbie question(s)

[Guillermo Gutierrez]

hello,
I just signed up today so please forgive me if I ask a repeated question.
I wanted to find out, is it normal for the version number to go down by one when installing GRUB to the HDD?
I got a hold of a *.img file that when written to a floppy and booted to, it displays the 0.95 version number.
If I follow some HOW-TOs for installing GRUB on the HDD by copying the stage1 and 2 files as well as the *_stage1_5 files to a /boot/grub directory and then run setup(hd*) from the GRUB command line then the version number drops to 0.94.

Is this supposed to happen? Did I do something wrong or am I following some outdated install guides?
