Re: Where is /boot/grub/menu.lst ?

[Eric Viseur <eric.viseur@gmail.com>]

Since Squeeze Grub2 (1.98 actually) is used instead of Grub.  Use update-grub2.
Parameters are passed through /etc/default/grub, and OS other than Linux are detected by osprober (app to install with the package wearing the same name).

You shouldn't make direct changes to /boot anymore, it's not the good practise anymore.
