There are two more /boot subdirectories I want to look at:
/boot/grub2/i386-pc/
/boot/grub2/themes/starfield/
I did an "ls -lRt" on /boot/grub2/ and put the output (as a text file) onto the
google drive here:
"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YymPG9fvQQwjTtHOG6G0g2lpeuvx3tMW/view?usp=sharing";.
I notice that the i386-pc subdirectory has numerous (over 275) files: 2 from
Oct. 10, 2019, and all the rest from July 06, 2017. But should not assume that
being old means they're no longer needed.
My question: Is anything in this directory still needed. I'd like to either
delete the whole subdirectory or keep the whole subdirectory. I don't want to
do anything here file-by-file.
They are actually very small and they are CRITICAL. If you look through your grub config you'll
come across the command "insmod", short for "insert module", many, many times.
Those modules, the ones in i386-pc, are the ones insmod is referring to. Without them your machine
couldn't boot.
I understand.
Thank-you, Mike.
I will leave that sub-directory untouched.
Interesting how stable that sub-directory is.
