If it were grub2, I think you are right. I think the old version of |
| 25 |
grub does use that tho. I think there is another file there that is |
| 26 |
needed too. It's been a while since I used the old grub and I don't see |
| 27 |
it in my directory anymore. I think those get installed when running |
| 28 |
one of the grub commands. |
