Actualy, this is a requisite for GRUB to become the default bootloader in Debian, so it'd be of much help to have this functionality. Would you implement it? It can be done by having GRUB parse an overrides file such as /boot/grub/overrides.lst whose commands can overrid the ones in menu.lst. Then a function like "grub -R" can be implemented on top of that. -- Robert Millan "[..] but the delight and pride of Aule is in the deed of making, and in the thing made, and neither in possession nor in his own mastery; wherefore he gives and hoards not, and is free from care, passing ever on to some new work." -- J.R.R.T, Ainulindale (Silmarillion) _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
