Subject: [PATCH] ref-manual: Describe grub-efi-cfg overrides and GRUB_TITLE
Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2025 12:18:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250121111836.47434-1-simon.eu@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250115080758.27000-1-simon.eu@gmail.com>

This patch describes how to use overrides for grub-efi-cfg because that
is otherwise only clear after reading the .bbclass file. It also adds
a description for GRUB_TITLE.
