I'm running grub 2 it seems. I don't know when that started, or what
difference it makes compared to legacy grub. I guess I don't need to know.
But a recent post had me looking at use-flags, and I was a bit surprised to
find (ncurses -static). If this refers to the part of grub that I run when
setting up or tweaking while Linux is already running, I guess that's
sensible. But does it have any effect on the boot sequence (because both of
those would strike me as badly broken).
I also wonder what -custom-cflags would be used for, and I don't get any
sensible answer from flagedit(1).
Just an inquiring mind...
