Tom H is fundamentally correct with his 'one file' view. There is quite a lot which can be done with /etc/default/grub if desired. Kernel options, a GRUB background and font, whether the menu is displayed or not and for how long it is displayed - etc. Anything more special and you move on to 40_custom. For example, booting from an iso file (those that are especially to provide the facility) can be done there. It also is useful if sub-menus are wanted. Neither is in GRUB Legacy, Of course, if these and other possibilities are of no use to a user they can work with /etc/default/grub or not, as they want. Files in /boot/grub are mainly binary. Nothing to do there. grub.cfg is an easy target though! I do have a 05_debian_theme which differs a little from the one provided by Debian but I'd not go out of my way to change it drastically in other ways. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
