Thanks for your reply, oldfred.

You said before that this kind of entry works only with distributions based on Ubuntu. I have none of those.

Does 'grub-install' command in GRUB-Legacy also use...

Oh Jeez!

This thread is definitely not solved if I'm not chain-loading. But I thought I was chain-loading. Ever since I created the grub-cfg in my GRUB partition, I have not changed it. It reads...

I finally removed GRUB2 and reinstalled GRUB-Legacy in Crunchbang as follows.

I installed Crunchbang in /dev/sda9 with GRUB2 in the partition. Apparently, there is some issue with installing GRUB2...

@oldfred: I'm extremely sorry for being so pig-headed and not going for the easier options available. And many thanks for all your time and patience.

I kind of have the feeling that I'm closer to...

$ sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda9
the same as

$ sudo mount /dev/sda9 -t ext4 /mnt
$ sudo grub-setup -d /mnt/boot/grub /dev/sda9

============================= Boot Info Summary:...

In order to install bootinfo script on my laptop, I had to setup wireless internet access on my laptop. I'm running into some trouble. The arch wiki says the following

I still havn't set up the internet connection in Arch linux and I think it will take me 2 more days to read all that stuff and set it up. And I still can't boot into my Crunchbang.

@oldfred: Yes. Those were the links, mate.



Since I can find no instructions on how to edit grub.cfg directly, I guess I'm going to install GRUB and Ubuntu on a virtual machine to find what is...

That seems much simpler, thanks :)

For the past few days, I been googling to find ways to theme my GRUB 2, oldfred. But all the guides I come across, require me to use the scripts that are in...

@oldfred: Thanks for your time, mate.



Can you post me some link where I can read up on how to minimize those?
