   Grub2 bootloader installed here in this article:
   http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/how-to-install-slitaz-with-ext4-and-grub2/

   But when he decided to change the boot parameters, found that the file /etc/default/grub not. What should I do?

   What is the error(s) produced by any of the command lines showed in the article ?
   Did you generate the config file (last command) ? What is in "/etc/grub.d/" and "/boot/grub/" folder ?
   Can you also do update-grub (in root mode) ?

   Unfortunately, I understand very little English. I take a translator.

   If I understood correctly, something about the error messages written in the second part. There, where it says about the manual installation of grub2. I installed using a package slitaz.

   Grub.cfg file is generated automatically using scripts from the directory /etc/grub.d/ and file /etc/default/grub.

   I now discovered that the command update-grub message:
   sh: update-grub: not found.

   update-grub is debian/ubuntu wrapper script so update-grub command is the same on grub-pc as grub-legacy.

   #!/bin/sh -e
   exec grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg "$@"

   Slitaz as root:
   #grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

   Most packagers include a custom /etc/default/grub with comments.
   All the options are here to make your own:

   OK!
   I realized that instead of the command:
   #update-grub
   you should use the following command:
   #grub-mkconfig
   I tested it: it works!

   You are also encouraged to file /etc/default/grub myself? I'll try to do. But I do not understand why the person who created the package grub2 to slitaz, did not it?

   And more.
   Why I do not have the directory /usr/bin/grub/? It is not needed?

   I've installed the loader grub2. Run the program TazPanel and in section GRUB boot loader see menu grub legacy. Why?

   Because grub-0.97 is the boot loader installed by slitaz-installer,tazinst,and tazusb.
   You are free to convert /var/www/tazpanel/boot.cgi to grub2-1.98 for your own use.

   I now want to install grub2 in the beginning, during system installation. Using the package slitaz. But while I do not know how to do it.

    Thank you.
    I've kept this page and read a little. I've already tried to install. It did not happen. Grub2 himself established, but no directory has been copied (for example, there was no directory /usr/lib/grub). If you do a grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg got an error message. I'll have to create a separate topic, and there to explain everything.
