Yeah, it was that last bit that I wondered about. So, assuming you do |
32 |
have a grub.conf what happens? Does nothing in the ebuild ever make |
33 |
the menu.lst->grub.conf link? Did older ebuilds make this link? I have |
34 |
no recollection of making one by hand. |
35 |
|
36 |
The GNU grub manual I found online talks only about menu.lst. Is |
37 |
having a grub.conf file a Gentoo thing? I've run *almost* nothing but |
38 |
Gentoo for 8 years now so I have no real knowledge of how other |
39 |
distros set this up. |
