all have numbers *in* their title; furthermore, there is no
example given about how to choose the number, or any indication about
whether counting is zero-indexed or 1-indexed.
Having a cleaner example and presenting all variants (numeric, title,
and id) should make it clearer to the user.
Signed
and understandable. I've
also assumed that the number counting starts at 1, but haven't
verified that. If that's wrong, please commit the corrected version

Hi grub folks--
Is there a way that a grub script (or the grub commandline) can report
the amount of available memory?
It seems like it would be useful in situations like a liveCD or bootable
image that might want to warn the user up front if the available RAM is
smaller than the advertised minim

Variant timestamps make some grub platforms produce non-deterministic
core images. This makes it difficult to use simple tools to audit the
stability of a system with grub installed.
This patch selects a single timestamp to use for these embedded
timestamps so that the core images will be replica

phcoder sent me the patch
I've been recently using grub.pxe (from debian's version 1.99-17)
according to the instructions at [0] to boot memtest86+ [1] (from
debian's version 4.20-1.1) over the network on x86 machines. Due to the
problems described below, i'm using a serial console.
The grub configuration is very simple:
according to the man page and grub-mknetdir --help, the usage is:
grub-mknetdir [OPTION] install_device
But it's not clear what the install_device should refer to, since you're
really just preparing a directory -- there's no device needed, afaict.
Can someone explain the need for this argum
