Hi all, This is just a newbie user of GRUB 2 1.95 . First lemme share my experience & then perhaps few newbie questions .
The OS is Ubuntu Gibbon 7.10 in a VM (Virtual Machine image) on VM ware worksation. Installing GRUB2 was simply :-
sudo aptitude install grub2 . As the package is in the universe repo. it installed in a jiffy.
As I had read about grub.cfg from before , hence went to /boot/grub & found the familiar menu.lst but no
grub.cfg. I did a simple sudo aptitude update-grub which in turn asked there is no grub.cfg & would I like one. Made some changes to grub.cfg (damn, forgot to take a backup first) and re-booted. No issues, the things are working fine. Now my questions are :-
1. I tried giving grub2 --version but that doesn't work. I also tried grub2 --installed_version but even that didn't work. 2. Is menu.lst now a transition file (kinda like dummy file) 3. I tried this link
http://www.inma.ucl.ac.be/~guffens/grub2_netboot/index.html but that one doesn't lead me anywhere. It dumps right at
