Unlike lilo, grub2-mkconfig doesn't re-write the MBR; a big

Not really. Just because you have to run extra commands for
a different reason doesn't mean it isn't just as irritating.
Come to think of it, at least lilo had a good reason to make
you run extra commands, grub2 only has idiotic design decisions
as a reason.

I don't think that once grub2 is production-ready in Fedora that extra
commands'll have to be run when a kernel is installed or uninstalled.


Also, in grub1, grubby edits "/boot/grub/grub.conf" when a
new kernel is installed so grub1's behavior isn't that different from
grub2's.

But it is: /boot/grub/grub.conf is the one and only place
where grub config is stored so if you edit it by hand,
unless you do something that horribly confuses grubby,
you will not have your changes destroyed by grubby.

Until /boot/grub/grub.cfg is the one and only place where
config information is stored in grub2, it will be inferior
to grub (no matter how many millions of loadable modules
it comes with :-).

"/etc/default/grub" is meant to be the only grub2 file to edit.
Unfortunately, there aren't enough options available (as we've both
listed earlier in this thread).

Before I gave up on getting everything to be as I wanted, I used to
edit "/etc/default/grub", most of the scripts in "/etc/grub.d", and
"/usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig"... Definitely not pleasant or efficient.
