I believe the only thing keeping GRUB 2 masked is a lack of |
2 |
"documentation". By this, I assume people are referring to the |
3 |
handbook. |

|

I have created a very minimal "quick start" guide that could be |
6 |
adapted for the handbook. It relies on the grub2-mkconfig command |
7 |
auto-detecting most things, which actually works pretty well. |

scarabeus created a guide a while back that goes into slightly more detail: |

The wiki also has a longer GRUB2 guide. This goes into some of the |
16 |
more exotic setups. However, some of it is poorly written and I find |
17 |
editing it quite tedious. |

So, my question to the community: what level of documentation do we |
22 |
want to put in the handbook? |
23 |
|
24 |
If the intent is just to get people up and running on Gentoo, I think |
25 |
adapting the quick start guide from the wiki is enough. grub2.info has |
26 |
a very detailed reference; I think we can refer people to that for |
27 |
manual/advanced configuration. |

|

Is there any other issue with grub:2 that would keep me from unmasking |
30 |
(adding keywords) on x86 and amd64? I plan on waiting for the 2.00 |
31 |
release. |
