There's grub 0.97 on CentOS 5. The manual at http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html says it is for 0.97. However, it mentions for instance a program grub-set-default that is not present in grub-0.97-13.2. It also mentions grub.conf options savedefault and fallback. Are these available in the CentOS grub?
I tried with savedefault and it does not create a /boot/grub/default as it should. So I have to assume that fallback isn't there either. The CentOS 5 grub is the same as the CentOS 4 grub and I would assume that it's the latest "legacy" grub, so it should include all that. Anyone knows why it doesn't? Anyone knows if it includes savedefault and fallback functionality? If so, how to make use of it?
I downloaded the source and built (but not installed) it, that includes a grub-set-default file. I created a default file with it, but it's still not getting used by savedefault. So I must assume the functionality is not built in the CentOS grub.
