Description

We have received this feedback on this guide:

https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/install-a-custom-distribution/

  • Please add a conditional path check for grub.cfg so that the users don't have to create the symlink from /boot/grub/grub.cfg -> /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. It should default to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg if both are present.
  • Please also replace the sed calls with actual example file modifications
