As you read above, I prefer grub0.* because it has config files, not commands which will automize it. For ubuntu I can understand that, but configuring boot is too simple to require automisation. When now automatic script fails, is there a way to do it by hand? Ubuntu disallows editing it by hand. Now I am confused by the 80 patches for legacy grub =( afaik. PS: If you know how to get rid of any background image, could you say how? THX + TIA.
