I broke the thread, because grub-2 configuration is an interesting |
| 2 |
topic, but I think it deserves a separate thread from the removal of |
| 3 |
grub-0 discussion. |

That's what I've been doing, and it works pretty well. |

I can tell you a bit of how it works. It uses the settings in |
| 29 |
/etc/default/grub along with the templates in /etc/grub.d to generate |
| 30 |
grub.cfg. You can tweak a lot of what gets generated by tweaking the |
| 31 |
settings in /etc/default/grub. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
You don't have to use grub-mkconfig. You can write /boot/grub/grub.cfg |
| 34 |
by hand if you want, and it appears that the syntax is documented in the |
| 35 |
grub info pages. |
