How to edit grub menu (menu.lst) properly?

Hi Alexey,

No - as you see from your error log, these commands don't exist yet in
the chroot environment. You need to run them after the corresponding
packages have been installed, of course.

Sure, you just need to run grub-install at some point.

What I don't understand is why you have a package which modifies
menu.lst but doesn't provide it if one doesn't exist, but oh well...
