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. But

If you ask me, that seems pretty dismissive of the idea the admin
should manually edit grub.cfg. The fact the file is blindly and willfully
