Hi Robert,
although I have different requirements, these are similar enough
to yours that I might give you tips ...
In your case I would try to use tincore (http://tinycorelinux.com/).
You should install
grub.cfg (I really prefer this way).
regards

Hallo,
the reason for my request of the complete grub2 documentation did come when I
wanted to boot ubuntu livecd and knoppix livedvd from NTFS partition of windows
vista.
It is possible to boot these livecd/dvd distros from HD without installing and
without booting it from CD/DVD medium.

overwritten by configuration and upgrade utilities would seem to re-enforce

It's very recent that GRUB2 is suitable for production use. Versions
prior to 1.97 aren't suitable for anything else than use by a coder.

I've wondered occasionally whether it would be worth it to include
something like GRUB_STATIC in upstream grub-mkconfig; if set, this would
cause grub-mkconfig to do nothing, perhaps printing a message. This
would mean you wouldn't have to figure out how to disable distribution
