-bash: grub2: command not found
Is there some other way of starting grub2?
of getting to a 'grub >' prompt?
I have the feeling I am doing something really dumb.
either that, or my f16 is misconfigured somehow.
This f16 came from 'preupdate' in f14.
I have not seen any errors as the system boots.

Well, what do you get when you run
rpm -qa grub*
? If it shows that "grub2" is installed, examine the package's list of
files and look into how to use GRUB2.

what do i do with these image files? how to view them?
isn't Downloads a peculiar place for documentation?
isn't there some standard/automatic way to use grub2?
or do I still need a series of "configure" steps?

Those are downloads you've done. The files don't belong to Fedora.

There's lots of documentation on GRUB2. The changes (such as commands like
grub2-mkconfig) have been discussed on the mailing-lists too, many times.

Oh, wait, with Fedora 16 the tools are in the main "grub2" package,
so you just need to read up on how to use them.

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?
