So, I have to do run
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
every time a new kernel rpm is installed?
If so, then it is a nasty requirement, because
updates are set to be automatic, but running
this command is not.
If we are at some point forced to switch to grub2,
we have to re-add our boot params to the conf file??
It sounds like it.
I am not impressed at all.
If fedora wants to gain more user acceptance,
It would seem they should aim at eliminating
unnecessary work for the user/admin instead
of adding more.
