The --boot-directory argument is optional; if you don't specify it, grub-install uses /boot. The grub-install(8) manual page says: --boot-directory=DIR install GRUB images under the directory DIR/grub instead of the /boot/grub directory You could have used chroot and then run grub-install without specifying --boot-directory if you wanted. this is Linux. There are choices. Comamnds have options to cater for a wide variety of needs and preferences. You don't have to use this option if you don't want to. It's documented precisely in the manual page. _______________________________________________ Grml mailing list - Grml@mur.at http://lists.mur.at/mailman/listinfo/grml join #grml on irc.freenode.org grml-devel-blog: http://grml.supersized.org/
