Then think about a separate /usr. theme files are static and have no way of knowing about adjusted for some reason directories. Moreover / and /usr may be unavailable to GRUB, e.g. it may be on NFS or encrypted. We can assume only that the $prefix with subdirectories and files needed to boot OS (in case of GNU/Linux it's Linux and initrd in /boot, other OS may have files outside /boot which may assume readable e.g. /mach_kernel for xnu). That's the reason I've adjusted grub-install to copy theme and fonts to $prefix/themes resp $prefix/fonts. -- Regards Vladimir 'φ-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
