grub is really, really, really annoying. if grub2 is going to be the
standard, and more importantly lilo will no longer be an option, is it
possible that the documentation could be updated so that mere mortals
can understand how it works and be able to modify the boot sequence
without having to be #$%@! bootloader experts ?
The last time I tried to figure out how to configure grub I removed it
and installed lilo, and I'm hardly the only one who has that reaction.
*sigh*. I guess it's time to take one for the team...
