Hi,
in the current grub.pdf are quite some overfull hboxes.
Here is my attempt to insert line-breaks (some of them
do not look very nice, but most of them are ok):

according to the wiki the commands install & setup are "unecessary".
I do consider setup (which itself uses install) as "desirable" at least.
What are the opinions about it?

about 1.5 months ago, I asked about the "Future of grub commands setup and
install" (sorrily I have put that thread below some other thread), see:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2010-09/msg00096.html
The reason for asking is that I rarely have an installed linux on systems
with grub
hmm, since nobody replied so far, I searched a bit for a distro, which might
be usable for assisting installation & setup of Grub 2.
I found microcore linux (which in turn is a stripped down version of tinycore
linux): http://tinycorelinux.com/
This distro runs only on x86. It requires less than
Hi Dmitry,
thanks for the pointer. That might also be a solution.
Currently I'm experimenting with tiny-/microcore Linux
(http://tinycorelinux.com/) and it looks very promising, especially since it
has already a ready made Grub-2 package ...
tiny-/microcore Linux are (including ntfs-3g and midn

this is kind of a hen & egg problem.
I would love to help improv
Hi Robert,
although I have different requirements, these are similar enough
to yours that I might give you tips ...
In your case I would try to use tincore (http://tinycorelinux.com/).
You should install the ntfs and grub2 extensions (see:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/tcz/index.ht
after tabbing into
the filesystem with (e.g.)
insmod (
insmod (hd0,
insmod (hd0,1)/
insmod (hd0,1)/boot
Grub2 has loaded the ntfs module and some other (helper)
modules.

I am using Grub-2 together with tinycorelinux
(http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux)
on a system with a german keyboard.
Since 1.99 there is support for international keyboard layouts in
Grub with the following commands in grub.cfg:
keymap grub-keymap
terminal_input at_keyboa
mat that can be used by GRUB's keymap command.
