Yes, sorry I thought you didn't have Windows 7!
Just copy exactly what you have back into the bottom of 06_custom
Sorry for the confusion!Code:echo "Windows 7 (loader)" >&2 cat << EOF menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" { insmod ntfs set root='(hd0,1)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 01cb2416e6305a00 chainloader +1 } EOF
Oh, and don't forget sudo update-grub
It's alright, I'll keep the extra stuff on the bottom, just in case. Everything works just as it should. Thank you for the great tutorial.
This is off topic, but do you know "Plymouth"? I'm interested in operating it. Can you point me in the correct direction?
You are welcome! Glad we could get by the minor issues. These should get you started.
The 3rd link is where I found the first two.

Search for Plymouth stuff.
Added a sample picture of the finished product after the tutorial.
Is there a way to make the font bigger?
I found this, but have not tried it. I am going to though.
Code:grub-mkfont --help Usage: grub-mkfont [OPTIONS] FONT_FILES Options: -o, --output=FILE_NAME set output file name --ascii-bitmaps save only the ASCII bitmaps -i, --index=N set face index -r, --range=A-B[,C-D] set font range -n, --name=S set font family name -s, --size=N set font size -d, --desc=N set font descent -c, --asce=N set font ascent -b, --bold convert to bold font -a, --force-autohint force autohint --no-hinting disable hinting --no-bitmap ignore bitmap strikes when loading -h, --help display this message and exit -V, --version print version information and exit -v, --verbose print verbose messages
I was able to change the font and the size, but I am still learning about what is the best manner to do this.
I changed the font to Comic_Sans_MS and that didn't work too well.
I didn't really believe there was a way, but now I see how to do it, I just need some more time to perfect it.
This will be added to the bottom of the tutorial as soon as I get it done.
