Well, unless I knew it was a whole lot of complex work, which I assume it is since no one has done it yet. :-P Please tell me if you think it is something that I could fix. As I understand it, the installation simply extracts a file called baseGNU.tgz (at least that's the only thing I noticed it did). So shouldn't it be possible to include grub configuration in it (/boot/grub/?) and then make the installation execute grub-install or something. But I don't know, it's probably more complicated than that. > > It takes like 5 minutes to write in all that magic to get GRUB > > starting the Hurd, and it is so error-prone. > > You can throw them in a config file and load it from the grub prompt > thanks to the configfile command... > I tried that, but it didn't work (I probably messed up, I had to write the file using cat). Luckily I got another pre-configured GRUB image. Thanks. /Patrik
