Hello all,
I like to keep some backup of my grub.cfg between each change.
I could obvioulsy do it manualy but may be something like:
# diff -Nau grub-mkconfig.orig grub-mkconfig
--- grub-mkconfig.orig 2010-01-24 14:43:52.0 +
+++ grub-mkconfig 2010-01-24 14:48:16.0 +000
Hi, I am Keshav from India. First of all, thank you to all the GRUB and
GRUB2 developers. I am no programmer but I do know a few technical details
of a computer. I have been using GRUB2 for few months now, in both BIOS-GPT
mode and UEFI-X64-GPT mode. It is working in both modes perfectly although

Hi,
GNU GRUB version 1.97.2 has been released.
GRUB, also known as the GRand Unified Bootloader, is a modular, portable
bootloader that supports a number of platforms, including standard BIOS-based

and coreboot, the fr

Hi.
I have a problem using grub2 version 1.97~beta4 on my Thinkpad X31.
I've installed grub2 successfully, and when I switch on, the grub
screen appears, but when I try to find my linux kernel file, grub2

the help-grub mailing l

I just removed capitalization of error strings in the whole file. A
