You're wrong there. All grub2-mkconfig does is update the config |
| 8 |
file, it's nothing like lilo. If you use symlinks, you don't have to run |
| 9 |
anything, just like with GRUB 0. |

I used to have a script to do the make/make install and add all kernels |
| 12 |
to the GRUB menu, now the latter part is handled more cleanly by |
| 13 |
grub2-mkconfig, without my giving up any controls of how or where the |
| 14 |
entries are added. |

Of course, you could hex-edit the MBR if you wanted real control, why |
| 17 |
trust a text editor to get it right? :-) |
