I installed grub-1.98 from tarball and I can at least do a commanded boot or point to a usable 'configfile'. This is enough for me so I'm committing to grub2.
While trying to set some defaults for exercises with the automated menu writing via grub-mkconfig I find no trace on my system of any /etc/default/grub file where such defaults would be set (1.98 installed everything under /usr/local). One thing I'd want to set in that default file or in /boot/grub/grub.cfg is GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true. I edited grub-mkconfig like so GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND \ GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true \ GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY \ but the file produced is still uuID based (which I can't use due to frequent dd mirroring). Do I have to 'create' this default file, where can I find an example for syntax, and what would th e syntax be for a direct menu file edit?
