I been reading up on this beast too. The commands and such appear to be |
| 41 |
specific to Gentoo OR at least different from Kubuntu. My money is on |
| 42 |
Kubuntu being weird. On my bro's Kubuntu I run grub-update but on |
| 43 |
Gentoo it is grub-mkconfig or something to that effect. I noticed that |
| 44 |
with Gentoo there is a option on the tail end too. With Kubuntu there |
| 45 |
is no options or at least none needed anyway. |

I'm waiting on new/more docs myself. I want to know not only how to |
| 48 |
upgrade but how to fix if it pukes on my keyboard. Hopefully other than |
| 49 |
chroot'in in and all. I have a lot of partitions and they are on LVM |
| 50 |
right now. That chroot'in is a pain in the butt. Oh, LOTS of stuff in |
| 51 |
/usr too so it has to be mounted for you to fix grub. < sighs > |
