There's little point in change fore change's sake. When I install a new |
| 19 |
system I use GRUB2, but those that were set up with GRUB1 will continue |
| 20 |
to use it until I have a good reason to change - even though the change |
| 21 |
is quite trivial. |

For new systems, it is a lot easier - emerge grub and run grub2-mkconfig |
| 24 |
and you have a bootable system. If you want to fart around with menu |
| 25 |
files (as I generally do) you can play with them after the system has |
| 26 |
booted the first time. |
