Hi,

 Personally, I'd love to see boot-directory go away also -- I think you should be able to specify the exact directory you want without worrying about /grub being appended.  Same goes for mkconfig.

Yes, that would be best and gives direct control to the user. For now GRUB_PREFIX denotes that final dir (atleast in the scripts).

Hi all,
      As discussed in #grub irc, I think going the --boot-directory way as
phcoder suggested will lead to unnecessary complexity. I would prefer
directly mentioning the path to grub_prefix dir, as in case of uefi installs
the prefix dir could be anything (/efi/grub, /efi/grub2, /efi/grub_custom,
/efi/redhat, /efi/ubuntu etc.). Using --boot-directory in such a case also
requires --bootloader-id etc. to be provided.
     Proper GRUB_PREFIX is required for video.lst and locale_dir setting
in grub.cfg. The patch with --prefix option is at

http://pastie.org/2763921. Please give your views.

Regards.

Keshav
