You will have to edit /etc/grub.d/10_linux if you do not want your changes in /boot/grub/grub.cfg to be overwritten on every run of update-grub. Alternatively, you can edit the line GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` in /etc/default/grub to something like GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Foo Bar" That will result in a menu entry that looks like Foo Bar GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.30-1-686 But you could have found that out by yourself by simply reading /etc/grub.d/10_linux. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
