This question could use some undeletes:

(Defaced and deleted by poster)

@MichaelHomer Does it deserve an undelete? And it looks like the poster deleted it, anyway. And defaced how?

@FaheemMitha It's a valid question that may be of use to someone.

@Kusalananda Sigh. Ok, voting to undelete. Though I think one should respect the poster's wishes.

@FaheemMitha I dunno. There are people who asks interesting questions and then deletes them as soon as they've had the answer. This is not the way this site is supposed to work. Hence the possibility to "undelete".

@Kusalananda Oh, you think he deleted it because he got an answer? That's dumb, certainly.

I didn't know that happened.

@FaheemMitha All sorts of possible explanations. Maybe he thought it would be harder than that?

Interesting article -> lwn.net/Articles/698724

Is anyone here familiar with Coccinelle?

Hello

guys?

gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html do I reallt need to do this entire thing?

isn't there like a good tutorial which covers some of the most usefull things

cos currently I even duno how to add an entry to the menu

If you don't understand the thing, you shouldn't be meddling with the menu in the first place.

I'd like to add an install

so I can boot the install from the disk

yes, I see, and I apologize for being so curt in my answer. But still, if you mess it up in can go very wrong indeed, so I strongly recommend spending the time to read up on it first. Following a tutorial blindly without understanding the whys and wherefores is a good way to completely mess up your systems to the point of unbootability.

I knooow :D

Okay, I'll get to it^^

I don't have to read anything. It seems to be very structured and easy!

Good luck!

grub has it's own shell?

oh boy...

@Junaga Many boot loaders have a sort of shell. Don't confuse it with anything like bash though.

yeah, it probably has a lot less features xd

That's a good one ^^

@Junaga I'm not entirely sure I know what the question is, but you may want to look up 1st and 2nd stage bootloader, and read the manuals for boot and bootup.

I just meant to ask where grub gets saved

its data and configs and the software itself

because I find a grub folder in /boot/grub

on every partition

it's systemsoftware so it's data and installation isn't operating system specific.

@FaheemMitha Did you look at the revision history?

@MichaelHomer No, I didn't.

Oh, I see. "deleted because I do not wanna be help to future generations" etc. That's pretty bizarre.

There are some strange people out there in the world. And with a poor command of English too.

@terdon It's him again.

After a few reasonable questions...

This one is also reasonable, but he's ranting a bit like he usually does.
