I think you need to use a newer version of GRUB2 first off. This is a
prerelease version and is quite old.
Using a newer version would be nice ---- BUT <grin>
I'm installing from the Debian Squeeze 8 DVD set because I
do not have high speed internet available.
Also it appears that Grub 2 is available only as source.
I've not attempted compile link load ... for over 30 years.
Do I have any options except following full manual edit of grub.cfg?
[my reading of http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html suggests I
don't.]
Directly editing the grub.cg isn't advised,
That was apparent from the abundant number of warnings on
the issue.

So no semi-automatic tools to do what I specified :<
Thanks
Also note that documentation applies to GRUB 2.00. There are many, many changes
from 1.98 to 2.00.
