My biggest complaint at the time when I looked at grub2 was that the
documentation was so lacking.  I really couldn't hardly figure out how
to use the new environment.  One example right off the top is there is
no menu.lst included.  I dunno if that gets generated down line via
configuration and setups or what.  I don't think the docs had
descriptions for many of the binaries that come with grub2 either.  My
only grub experience so far is mainly updating menu.lst and when I
used to be on debian, I got a little familiar with the grub config
files in /etc but other than that, I really don't know much of what
I'm doing in grub if I had to build the menu.lst from scratch and
ensure I can still boot my computer into either platform.
