Grub2 looping Links

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)  
I have a feeling the "GrubHowTo" is talking about Grub1 or Grub-legacy.  At the end of the sub-page about making a floppy it mentions 
menu.lst
which is the old equivalent of the new grub.cfg except you can't really edit the new one (well you can but it's clumsy)  

The beginning of the sub-page about changing the boot order also describes menu.lst but after the comments section is a very shy section about changing the order in 10.10 (which uses Grub2).  It doesn't have headings.  The person who added the content either didn't have time or didn't know how to do wiki-mark-up.  I don't mind that sort of thing because once the content is there it's usually fairly easy to see which lines were meant to be headings and which would be best in coding brackets and such like.  

Regards form 
Tom :)

As the Beta2 goes out tonight, I'm happy to have a read through over the weekend. We do not expect to be battling the zram bug until Monday.

Regards,

Phill.
