How can it be done?\
It's not possible to set environment varibles for arbitrary processes from the pre-boot environment. But you can get the job done by making up kernel command line options. For example: title Boot from /usr/src/linux/.../bzImage kernel (hd0,0)/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage src vga=5 idebus=66 grep src /proc/cmdline >/dev/null && echo "Booted from /usr/src." -- Jacob Elder http://www.lucidpark.net/ _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
