A question about that though. When I ran grub-mkconfig /dev/sda, I looked for the file in /boot/grub directory, but none was there. What I did get was the complete file shown in the shell I was using. I just copied that into a new grub.cfg then copied it over to /boot/grub. Is that normal behavior or did I do something wrong or did it put the file somewhere else? I knew that Suse uses an image for their grub loader screen, but never investigated that aspect when i was using it. I'll play with that a bit as I would like to do something prettier. Right now, I'm very pleased to have gotten it working on the computer! Pat
