I just noticed something in grub.conf:
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ###
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply
type
the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to
change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
### END /etc/grub.d/40_custom ###
So is this blurb telling us TO edit the file even though the first lines in
the file tell us not to?
I think I need a boot partition because I plan on reformatting the debian
partition when I finish with this.
