Comment 17 for bug 437446

Hi,

please appreciate that I am really new to this.

e.g. drs305 wrote an update for it, quite a while ago. He passed it on and
it was not posted. As drs305 has written so much for grub2 would it not be
beyond the realms of possibility that it be applied ?

The thread I replied to on the forum was 9.10 based. Grub2 has been out
since then. An updated version of that page has been available since drs305
posted it to "You" I find it kinda odd that "official" documentation that
cannot be edited is being found by new members of Ubuntu and giving them out
of date information some 6 months on. The community documentation, that "We"
can edit has been corrected.

Sorry, I just don't get it. There are people who will update the documents,
they do so, then send them ... and exactly nothing happens.

Regards,

Phill.
