Yes. But only for testing purposes as fsck appears to run (see the
video) but was producing no logs in /var/log/fsck/check*. Removing
"quiet" meant I could see fsck run.

Having quiet enabled shouldn't affect the second parameter.

ditto

close enough

grep -v "#" /etc/default/grub
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""


note that I'm appending to a custom menu entry so that it *only* runs if
that boot option is chosen, instead of on every boot (civilizations can
rise and fall in the time it takes to run a full fsck on 95GB)
