Bug Description
Concerning the documentation for 'grub-install' :
Inside 'grub.info.gz' :
- Thank you very much for chapter '4.1 Installing GRUB using grub-install' : This really provides useful information.
- But chapter '23 Invoking grub-install' is regrettably truncated : It mentions only options --help, --version, --boot-directory, --recheck and --no-rs-codes.
Inside the 'Manual page grub-install(8)' :
- Many options are listed, but the description is much too succinct to be useful.
- The whole text between 'grub-install [OPTION...] [OPTION] [INSTALL_DEVICE]' and '-s, --skip-fs-probe do not probe for filesystems in DEVICE' is duplicated.
Can you describe all 'grub-install' options into 'grub.info.gz' ?
Can you fully replicate this information in the 'Manual page grub-install(8)' ?
Thank you in advance.
