You can also replace the generator scripts in /etc/grub with your own, which is what I did. They are just simple shell scripts that look at the contents of /boot and generate menu entries. The supplied scripts have to cover all use cases, which is where much of the bloat comes from, but scripts for a setup controlled by you can be very simple. -- Neil Bothwick The cow is nothing but a machine which makes grass fit for us people to eat.
