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?
