[nmglug] RE weirder

[Brian O'Keefe]

Thank you Jared and I will does this ASAP, probably tomorrow. I did 
update Grub so no worries there and will do so subsequently. I'll let 
you know if the settings stick as I did install grub-customizer. Now I 
just need to read how to use it correctly.

Many thanks again.
