I know that I stand alone with this opinion, but I edit grub.cfg
manually, instead of wasting hours, days, month with learning how to set
up several files, that then anyway won't set up grub.cfg 100% the way I
wish to have it. Btw. the command 'submenu' works with Ubuntu, but not
Debian, for GRUB2 there seems to be several setups, or plugins or ...?!
GRUB2 isn't a good boot loader, I guess we should switch back to GRUB1.
I wonder if anybody wish to see splash screens an such stuff, but
doesn't need a good menu list.
