The first one is more detailed. I suspect neither will be what you
want. What it tells me is that most people either want the full meal
deal (the 90+ page grub manual), or a short guide (1-2 pages cut to
the chase type of guide). Or perhaps more accurately those who've
taken the time to write a guide didn't see the need to elaborate much
beyond a few pages. If someone is going to take the time (and has the
desire) to go through a 30 page guide because they want to better
understand grub, then they'll just as likely go through the grub
manual and pick out the 25-50 pages from it that they see as relevant
to their situation or of personal interest. Why write a guide that is
1/3 of the full manual for the very few who find that a 2-3 page guide
is not sufficient but the full guide is too much.

Thank you. The first URL is what I am looking for. It is written for
SUSE and UBUNTO but it is the same grub. And it is just a little too
short but it covers all the things I wanted.
I will put it in my saved things.

Yes, that first one is a pretty good little guide I must admit. I was
beginning to think that perhaps you were looking for a primer instead
(more of an instructional type of guide that one might use to teach a
topic). That would certainly be very beneficial. I suspect some are
out there but likely developed for a course that someone is teaching
therefore not something they want to share (intellectual property
where sharing might cause people to not bother taking their course).

I may run into that too Jacques. A guy in the Documentation group
said he would look up the grub part of the RHCH or like that. They may
not want to display that on a web page either :-)
