With Linux you have complete control - so you can alter any file you wish. However, it is not usual (and maybe ill-advised) to change 00_header, 10_linux, 20_linux_xen or 30_os-prober. 40_custom is completely under your control (there is an example in this thread) and 05_debian_theme could be customised. > And /boot/grub is plenty of small files: So?

GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true in /etc/default/grub. It's documented. Alternatively be brutal and uninstall os-prober. > >> If I were a betting man, I'd bet that grub1 won't be available in >> Wheezy once it's published... > > And that was what I asked for, but I'm still waiting to see an official > statement for whatever decision they take.

If neither is 'official' enough you can always get the Profect Leader to make a statement. :) Prepare for the worst.
