The routine that finds grub runs as a user, and at least on my SuSE box, gr=
ub=20
is only in root's path.  Part of the purpose of the function is to make sur=
e=20
grub is actually installed.  In this routine, I don't actually run grub, I=
=20
just want to make sure it is there and is executable by root.  Thanks for t=
he=20
extra grub path.
