Hi all,

Does the sentence [1]

If you use libreboot make sure to do this. If you do not use libreboot, skip this step.

cd /boot/grub
sudo ln -s grub.cfg libreboot_grub.cfg

also mean that if you run Coreboot, you can skip this step?

Thanks in advance!

libreboot is a distribution of coreboot and a payload (GRUB in most mainboard ROMs), and that step is specific to libreboot's GRUB configuration.

Whether you need to do anything like that depends on your coreboot payload (and configuration thereof). If you're using coreboot's default payload of SeaBIOS and you have the grub-pc package (GRUB built for a BIOS) installed in Trisquel, you should be all set.

(There would be no harm in running those commands anyway, and they would only need to be run once.)
