The thing is, IMO grub0 is better / simplier. |

As you read above, I prefer grub0.* because it has config files, not |
| 17 |
commands which will automize it. For ubuntu I can understand that, |
| 18 |
but configuring boot is too simple to require automisation. When |
| 19 |
now automatic script fails, is there a way to do it by hand? Ubuntu |
| 20 |
disallows editing it by hand. Now I am confused by the 80 patches |
| 21 |
for legacy grub =( afaik. |

PS: If you know how to get rid of any background image, could you |

say how? |
