I broke the thread, because grub-2 configuration is an interesting topic, but I think it deserves a separate thread from the removal of grub-0 discussion.

That's what I've been doing, and it works pretty well. I can tell you a bit of how it works. It uses the settings in /etc/default/grub along with the templates in /etc/grub.d to generate grub.cfg. You can tweak a lot of what gets generated by tweaking the settings in /etc/default/grub. You don't have to use grub-mkconfig. You can write /boot/grub/grub.cfg by hand if you want, and it appears that the syntax is documented in the grub info pages. William
