5. Install a minimal Grub onto the Linux partition
Ubuntu 9.10 comes with "grub-pc" which is apparently a re-write of Grub and has
some "interesting" features. One of them is that it offers you bad advice all
the time. First we're going to edit the grub.cfg file and ignore the advice "DO
NOT EDIT THIS FILE". This is bad advice because a) it's dead hard to get what I
want using Grub's configuration and b) even if I muck it up, it's easy to
re-generate with grub-mkconfig. So, I did this:
- sudo vi /boot/grub/grub.cfg
- Now delete the Windows section. Just search for Windows and remove.
- :w! It's a read-only file. Force write.
- :q
- We now have the Grub menu we want
- Install it to the Partition
- grub-install /dev/sda3
- Grub will now offer loads of bad advice along the lines of "this is a
BAD IDEA". How un-UNIX of it. Ignore it.
Reboot.
