I have done some reading on both
grub2-install , grub2-mkconfig


what I was trying to do was just a bit
of exploring grub2
 with a "grub command line interface"
(I may not have the nomenclature correct)

as in f14 grub1
just entering
"grub" and  a  carriage return
spits back
"grub >"


which I cannot do in my f16.
with either
 "grub"
or
"grub2"

Is this just not possible with grub2?

Or perhaps intended only for rescue tools
such as a knoppix live cd?
