Ok, you convinced me i can selectively read the grub2 manual for the essential commands less scripting. I'll try that tonight. I would like to know where to get the source of the legacy grub that observed gentoo use flags, I'm thinking about simpler systems including a couple of 32 bit systems i'd like to use occasionally for odd services and network play (on an isolated network so i can also practice incursion and it's detection, response, and prevention). |
