Any ideas anyone?

Like you, I've always done this manually, an=
d in fact I prefer it that way.

Personally, if/when I take the=
 plunge, I'll just continue to do it 
manually with Grub2:

Is there a= more comprehensive howto on how to convert grub legacy to grub2?

I use xen and initramfs. And the options in grub legacy don't work wi= th grub2.

Many thanks,

Joost
