So, it just happened. Please get grub2 1.95+20070505-1 and tell us if/how much this suits your needs. As you can see, variables are fed via /etc/default/grub now. And if you need more specific stuff, you can deploy modules in /etc/grub.d/. > On Fri, Apr 13, 2007 at 10:21:15PM -0300, Gustavo Franco wrote: > > I would like to see grub with preseed support (debconf) for at least > > kopt, I forgot about this one, but I just commited it to upstream CVS as GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX. > > groot, AFAICT, overriding this is no longer necessary. grub-probe detects the root device (/dev/foo) and root drive ((hdX,Y)) during update-grub run.

I think this would be enough for graphical support, but I haven't had time to look into how using it, hence update-grub doesn't use it atm. When it's enabled, we can have a variable override for /etc/default/grub that defines which background to use. -- Robert Millan My spam trap is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: this address is only intended for spam harvesters.
