Yes, Lane, it is the right one for Lubuntu. I have only Lubuntu 
installed at the usb stick, no ubuntu or kubuntu. As mentioned before, I 
do not have any problem now with Maverick and it is updated several 
times since, now at 2.6.35-19 and the grub.cfg is now automatically 
generated.

But if I followed what others (at Ubuntu) have done to solve the nvidia 
problem that you may have, it goes something like this....

At xorg.conf, change Driver "nvidia" to Driver "nv"
Append at *top* of xorg.conf .....
Section "ServerFlags"
	Option	"IgnoreABI"	"True"
EndSection


reboot (at this point you may not have nvidia, just vesa)
If, you boot to a terminal and not desktop, login and do update/upgrade.
You may have to reboot if there is any kernel changes, check if grub.cfg 
is updated, if not "sudo update-grub" first before reboot.

After reboot, if still at terminal, "startx" or "startlxde".

Then reinstall your nvidia driver at preferences->additional drivers.
Make sure you set "save to X configuration file" at the Nvidia settings 
when installed.

Good luck. - Goh Lip
