Re: [Bug-grub] any way to modify grub from windows?

[Jason Thomas]

the grub shell find any drives on windows.

you could if you have time write grub-savedefault executable which just
does that, and then build it on windows. probably a bit of work though,
but definately something useful. Actually maybe that wouldn't be so
difficult. I might even have a crack at it one day :-)
