But there is not an info file with the grub2 install. Except there is, but you get it with a pinfo grub after having installed grub2. The following entries in that file (fedora F10 grub2 rpm installed) are link-less, empty: * Configuration:: Writing your own configuration file * Network:: Downloading OS images from a network * Preset Menu:: Embedding a configuration file into GRUB * Images:: GRUB image files * Troubleshooting:: Error messages produced by GRUB * Invoking the grub shell:: How to use the grub shell * Invoking grub-terminfo:: How to generate a terminfo command * Internals:: Hacking GRUB attempting to read any of the above entries gets you a no such file or directory advisory at the bottom of the window. And I think you will have to agree that is a lot of missing data. Particularly when it doesn't Just Work. >Why are you overly brief when you could be a bit more verbose? Which >platform?
