I haven't kept boot mounted for yrs, and I hadn't noticed that grub was to be updated... there was 187 pgks, further its not automatically apparent that grub.cfg resides on boot... not all of grubs files do. I'm very new to grub2. But even with that, yes, it was sloppy not to catch it, but isn't that just the kind of place where a warning of some kind might be well placed. After all, its nearly a sure bet that if there are no files in /boot, it is not mounted, that is, on a running OS doing an online update. Many many linux users keep boot umounted. In fact I believe there was a time when it was common on debian. I'm pretty sure last time I played with debian, which would have been 5-7 yrs ago it was recommended. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
