I can see where the keyboard thing might be helpful, but the other just seems to be a matter of running grub-mkconfig, as it's pretty thorough in it's operation. I have a suggestion, question or recommendation, also. When Grub2 boots to the loader screen, could you guys change the heading? From: GNU GRUB versioni 1.96 to either GNU GRUB2 or GNU GRUB2 version 2.0? Since 1.96 is over one year old, it's kinda obsolete now compared to the latest svn, plus it seems appropriate to show this is GRUB2, not GRUB.
