Yes, this I have found. But its still broken. So I do the grub.cfg updates
with vim until such time as I can cobble up a bash script to do it _right_.
Just for grins, attached here is the grub.cfg from the Mint 8 install. This
one gets it right, so I know it can be done. Then I'll attach the output of
grub-mkconfig which is the output of the gnu.org version. No won't, its 20k
of trash cuz everything is called GNU/Linux, with kernel so and so. RMS can
take his fscking politics and shove it.
Thanks Goh Lip
