grub2 and linux from scratch
grub2 is doing something I don't understand.
/etc/default/grub has the line:
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -c -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
the boot menu shows:
linux from scratch gnu/linux
advanced options for linux from scratch etc.
debian gnu/linux (jessie/sid) on sda2
advanced options for debian gnu/linux, etc.
I have two instances of debian - on sda1 jessie and on sda2 sid.
sid has no boot loader, and grub is written to /dev/sda by jessie.
What is this linux from scratch? And why does grub then correctly
describe the discovered distribution?
I believe that I can fix the problem by using a custom menu, but I am
puzzled by the "linux from scratch" thing.
John.
