Note that with grub2, ie Ubuntu 10.04, there is a directory of files which are executed in order whenever grub is reconfigured. It looks like the output of those files is concatenated, or the config file is piped from one to the next (I'm not sure of the actual mechanism). In any case, you can make a filter script like this and add it as a separate executable file in /etc/default/grub/. This is preferable to editing update-grub since the changes will be preserved through updates to grub. This is all described in reasonable detail at the link I posted above, <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275>. - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xperia(TM) PLAY It's a major breakthrough.
