I'm eternally grateful for this neat and well-documented program
I wanted to remove the ugly messages but keep the formattable GRUB menu
grub-shusher makes more sense to me than the Arch wiki's recommended method of replacing grub with grub-silent: which shows me many thousands of lines of output for me to remove only 2 lines from the screen. grub-silent is a hammer to crack a walnut where this program is tight and specific
Some more ReadMe explanation would have helped me understand better but anyone running such a venerable program should hopefully read through these comments in case this helps anyone
The screens the "Welcome to Grub" message appears on flash up very quickly.
"Welcome to Grub" is hardcoded into the kernel.img but at the same time in the boot sequence there is also "GRUB loading." which is in the MBR (I guess it is generated an instant later, after a screen-refresh). This is one of the messages the second program removes. I'd have liked the ReadMe to have listed what "MBR" (the second program) does as thoroughly as it does for grub-kernel. Since I was conscious I only wanted part of what the program was designed for.
In Arch the method to get pacman to auto-apply the changes will be different from the instructions for Debian+apt. I didn't try that yet.
