So I would have to create the /etc/default/ directory since it does not
exist in cygwin.
/etc/defaults/ does exist (with an s at the end).
When I boot, I am presented with
grub>
but what I wish is to have a graphical login. Simply running
/usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig should do this correct?
So for the packaging I guess I would change grub to look for
/etc/defaults/grub instead of /etc/default/grub and also figure out why
it does not present a graphical login.
Would really like to get this going, as I need to add another disk and
to get from grub> prompt to windows takes typing in 4 commands each time.
I have a number of other systems for which I wish to install grub and
cygwin is on every windows partition so is the easiest way to go
(instead of cutting some linux distro dvd, booting from there and
doing. It would be helpful if installing grub from cygwin worked.
am willing to help make the changes if someone can get me started.
thanks

How can I contact the person that compiled / packaged grub for cygwin
for a fix for this?
It does not create the default /etc/defaults/grub file
The /etc/default/grub file is not created - it is read by
/usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig if present.
and there are a number of other things I am having issues with that
deal with
the packaging and execution of grub.
Please be more specific.
Installation failure?
Boot failure?
No boot menu but grub prompt?
Does grub ls command list partitions correctly?
Does manual boot via grub shell work?
It is always a good idea to first create and test a grub rescue CD to
check compatibility, see
