Comment 5 for bug 447725

making grubenv read-only prevents the change to 1, is incorrect,

grub2 simply makes it a backup file & creates a new grubenv file with recordfail=1.

so, if I want to boot directly to the O, I have to manally set grubenv recordfail=0.

I hate to say it, but Grub-legacy was simpler, & less error prone,

only an expert could benefit from Grub2, most users only care about simple, easy

choices, & want a PC just to boot to the OS of their choice without having to have

a degree in computer science.

Ubuntu forever!
