Hi all! Last reconfigure passed without errors, but no messages about grub
installation. After reboot - grub rescue prompt. For example, some command
output in rescue console:

Solved! Thanks.

Well, let's just say, this is not always true. The last time was a full

To run 'reconfigure' for minor changes to the system configuration
is inconvenient. For example, this option:
(sudoers-file (local-file (config-file "/etc/sudoers")))
provides an easy way to make changes at any time. But what about mcron?
