It's certainly worth having a printed copy of a grub.conf file to refer
to when you don't have a working PC to consult, if you're trying to fix
up a machine that won't boot.

I can't recall if it's been said in this thread, but it certainly has
before, the man file for GRUB is virtually useless, the info file for it
is quite comprehensive.  When you see a man file that tells you to read
the info file (notes at the end of the man file), it's worth having a
look.

And, as gets pointed out from time to time, the "info" command isn't
very nice to use.  Try using pinfo, instead (e.g. pinfo grub).  Or, if
you prefer reading in a GUI system, with scroll bars and mouseable
hyperlinking, you can type this command line to start:  yelp info:grub
