We already spend more time in LFS explaining GRUB than with any other single package in LFS or BLFS with the exception of Xorg (if you count that as a single package). We don't see our role as explaining every little nuance. GRUB2 *is* complex. It supports: Multiple languages Network PXE Serial Ports CDROMs Floppies Partition Formats Operating Systems Disk Hardware BIOS Types My purpose was to explain how to make GRUB work in what I considered to be the most common instance: ext3 on a standard hard drive as /dev/sdax, standard ps2 or usb keyboard, and standard vga monitor. Explaining a comment line in a generated configuration file seems to be overkill. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
