I just dug out my old Debian 3.1 DVD and did a minimal install in a VM.
I have no /etc/grub.conf at all and the file is actually in
/boot/grub/menu.lst with no /boot/grub/grub.conf at all. It's ancient
and using Grub 0.95 but I can't find my Debian 4.0 install disks. If the
location and file name are the same on later versions then the current
grub.aug file is not right at present for that either.
