Not quite true. grub-install does all logic to detect what grub drivers are needed, what prefix or embedded config file is needed (and create such config file), where /boot/grub is located, etc etc etc. That it was shell script was just an implementation detail. > Therefore, you//may run those commands directly to > install GRUB, without using //`grub-install'.// > (see /chapter 3.1.

Supported interface to install grub is grub-install. To install grub on USB stick you just need to mount it and run grub-install. Something like mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt grub-istall --boot-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb This will copy grub support files to /mnt/grub (or /grub directory on USB stick) and instal grub boot sector in MBR of USB stick. If this does not do what you want please explain what you want to do. _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
