this Grub thingy is something really tough to explain to migrators.
The worst is that while the boot prompt works, one loses the console
all too easily and does not get it back. And google says one should
edit files here and there to keep the gfxpayload.
Yes, I did all that. But I did not want to do that. And then I lost it
again at some later update.
Since the console is the entry to most newbies, whatever you do,
make it as easy as possible. If that is not possible, then please
leave LILO in.
Thanks
