Grub originally cleaned lilo's clock primarily because you didn't have to remember to run extra tools to make the changes take effect. Now the standard usage for grub2 requires running extra tools again. Does no one remember how many problems that caused? One of the primary reasons it must not use a preprocessor (particularly the way it is currently distributed) is that you cannot actually configure everything you might need to change. You can fall back on editing various files you aren't supposed to edit, but the next grub2 update you get will probably overwrite your changes. You can even edit the grub.cfg file if you want to, but the next kernel update will overwrite your changes. Until the one and only place grub config information is stored is the one grub.cfg file, grub2 is unacceptably boneheaded and should not be the standard boot loader. Just because 1.98 is a bigger number than 0.97, doesn't mean it is a better number. -- 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
