It would be useful to know what is happening along with the command list. Just a small piece of the total solution doesn't help much. If the tutorial goes like this then we can be sure to see the question over and over and I'll bet there will be several more threads before we're finished with this one.
For example, it would be good to know HOW TO REINSTALL GRUB once it has been "uninstalled". Or, better yet, how to correct the code instead of deleting it. Also, understanding what caused the problem and how in the first place would be very useful. Even if, as in my case, list members don't happen to have this particular problem, but are interested in it they might want to save the tutorial for possible future reference.
