There does however exist a /usr/portage/sys-boot/grub/files/grub.conf.gentoo on my system, |
| 22 |
It just has to be |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
a) Updated to stay relevant |
| 25 |
b) Placed in a place I expect to find it |
| 26 |
c) Be referenced in the grub-2 post-install messages or at very least, more prevalent in |
| 27 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GRUB2_Quick_Start |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Because encouraging everyone to use it the way that has clearly seen |
| 30 |
resistance in gentoo doesn't seem to be helping. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Though I do see the documentation is better than it was when I |
| 33 |
switched, the message that you can use a simpler configuration scheme |
| 34 |
is not prevalent enough for people to be noticing it. |
