Legacy Mode Installation Using GPT Partitions

[m654321]

Many thanks AustinTexas - I used your second method where the last installed distro is 'in charge' of the grub screen. Guess what - you know why it wasn't working - the DVDs were duds! I reburned the iso onto fresh DVD-R blanks and everything is fine now with the installs - I've now installed several distros (eight of them) and it seemed really straightforward. So far, I've formatted the remaining unallocated disk space, bit by bit, as I go along with each new distro install - seems to work better than say creating 20 x 20480 MB partitions in advance.

Though most distros' names appear correctly in the grubscreen, some are incorrect, e.g.
ElementaryOS-Freya appears as Ubuntu 14.04
Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 appears as Ubuntu 16.04, which is confusing as I have Ubuntu 16.04 itself installed.

How do I edit the grub screen to correct these distro names?
I tried the following (which I used in a UEFI Win/LL dual-boot), but it didn't work - for example for changing the grub-listed Ubuntu to Elementary:

Code:

sudo su
sudo sed -i 's/Ubuntu/Elementary/g' /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I should mention that I have a separate bios_grub partition (/dev/sda1) as outlined by goldfinger in the tutorial.

Many thanks for any feedback on how to edit the distro names, as they appear in the grubscreen

Cheers
Mike

PS. I haven't implemented SuperGrub2 yet, as so far I don't appear to need it (i.e. none of the distros are hidden from the grubscreen)
