[LINUX_Newbies] Re: UUID problem

 

Paul,

If a machine has "hundreds" of directories in /boot, something is definitely wrong.

Mine has two directories, and one of them only because I loaded burg on the machine to try it out. In addition, there is a total of eight additional files, including the Linux kernel itself.

Last I looked, many distros have a "custom install" option that allows you to use other boot loaders--even lilo, if you wish.

There is a graphical program called "startupmanager" that allows you to set the delay time for booting the default operating system--you can set that to a second (or possibly to zero, as I haven't tried that) on your system if you only run a single OS.

Because whatever it does so special I don't need. All I ever run is one OS on any system I have. Whatever grub2 is designed for isn't how I operate.
