said Mike Bird:
| I just did "md5sum /etc/grub.d/10_linux" on a dozen or so very | different systems and they were all identical leading me to | believe it is not customized per system and therefore copying | it should work fine.
The plot thickens: there *is* a file on this booted drive, /etc/grub.d/10_linux.dpkg-dist, that has the same size -- 18151 -- and timestamp as /etc/grub.d/10_linux on the other drive. Might dpkg have left it there in case I clutched my pearls, said, "What a fool I've been!" and wished to install it after all? Is this normal dpkg behavior when one decides under such circumstances to stick with the original version of something? -- dep
