I'm running grub 2 it seems. I don't know when that started, or what |
2 |
difference it makes compared to legacy grub. I guess I don't need to know. |

But a recent post had me looking at use-flags, and I was a bit surprised to |
4 |
find (ncurses -static). If this refers to the part of grub that I run when |
5 |
setting up or tweaking while Linux is already running, I guess that's |
6 |
sensible. But does it have any effect on the boot sequence (because both of |
7 |
those would strike me as badly broken). |

I also wonder what -custom-cflags would be used for, and I don't get any |
10 |
sensible answer from flagedit(1). |

Just an inquiring mind... |
