They should have named it lilo2 :-). :))) To be fair, the difference between grub1/2 and lilo remains that grub1/2 don't update the mbr for every config change but only when they are set up. grub2's update is the equivalent of grubby on Fedora and grub1's update-grub on Debian/Ubuntu. In theory, the only grub2 file that a user needs to edit is "/etc/default/grub" to set grub2's defaults like GRUB_TIMEOUT, etc. In practice, the files in "/etc/grub.d" sometimes have to be edited (or "chmod -x"'d to prevent them from being run by update-grub). -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
