Yes, and update-grub is also run for grub2, generating a (hopefuly) sane grub.cfg. This is the normal behaviour and works for most users of the Debian package. As for the Ubuntu forked version, I don't really know. Sometimes they add their own changes, but never tell me about them. Occasionaly they pick a version of the package that is broken and put that in release (IIRC this happened in edgy). No offence intended but, overall, this is why I ask him to test the official debian package first. -- Robert Millan My spam trap is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: this address is only intended for spam harvesters.
