So good!
Thank you very much for this great script. Made installing ATLAS so easy (once I read carefully the preamble at the top about changing grub!)
Cheers!

Thank you!

No issues - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Coded the update grub file in my fork

cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub_backup
sed -i 's/\(GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=".*\).*\("\)/\1 intel_pstate=disable\2/' /etc/default/grub
update-grub
