Sadly it winds up being significantly more people than I'd like because the maintainer script code for handling /etc/default/grub has lots of terrible stuff in it for historical reasons. And of course editing /etc/default/grub to add some kernel arguments is very common, even among people who don't really know what they're doing thanks to various web guides (the number of bugs I've seen that were due to Unicode quotes in /etc/default/grub thanks to copying and pasting from web pages would probably startle you). -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
