Grub Question
I'm confused. I failed LX0-101 today and noticed a question about grub that has me going in circles. It asked to state the path for the grub configuration file. I assumed /boot/grub/grub.conf, but going back through my notes it could also be /boot/grub/menu.list. Would either answer suffice on the exam?

I'd suggest looking at the printout you recieved, and using that as a guide for the areas you need to brush up on.
Furthermore, udemy has some linux academy courses on sale for $10 a piece that cover the linux+

How vague can you get? You don't know if you missed one or all of the questions in an area or even which ones. It really doesn't give you a clue as to what you should study up on.
Agreed it's not the best feedback, but it's certainly better than some, that simply tell you PASS/FAIL, no scores, no areas of weakness, nothing.
/boot/grub/grub.conf GRUB config
/etc/default/grub.cfg GRUB2 config | update-grub which uses /etc/grub.d and /etc/default/grub
That's what I was thinking too.

I'm taking an unusual amount of freedom here and totally wild guess that you used only a guide for preparation and haven't looked even a bit at man pages and/or objectives.
Of course I may be wrong.
I may be confused by your response. I'm away that neither menu.lst nor grub.conf have anything to do with GRUB2. However, in the objective printiout that I haven't even looked at, ever, it says 102.2 Install a boot manager. Under that theres a bullet that says the following is a partial list of the used files, terms, and utilities. Further down, theres yet another bullet (probably why I haven't even looked at the exam objectives, ever) that says...nothing concerning grub2. There's a bullet /boot/grub/menu.lst, but from the TestOut labsim GUIDE I used to prepare, I was told that was just a symbolic link to /boot/grub/grub.conf. Now, I obtained that objective printout (.pdf to be specific) from CompTIA's website, but that could be an outdated objectives guide I suppose? I appreciate the other posts here, but I fail to see how yours contributed anything?
I'm assuming GRUB legacy based on the objectives.
I don't think lpi questions are THAT sneaky. Questions are usually straightforward but don't hint at an answer.
The GRUB 2 configuration file is located at /boot/grub/grub.cfg, but some distributions place this file in /boot/grub2 to enable both GRUB Legacy and GRUB 2.

Guessing that sale is over? I see both courses listed as $99 each.
