Anything but the following layout would just look too weird: [ Cancel ] [ Restart ] [ Shutdown ] > If you do need to restart nearly as often as shutting down, either > you're switching kernels/OSes much more often than the average joe, or > your OS badly needs fixing. :-) My OS does badly need fixing but that is another story ;) If you know a better way to boot into a Live CD or partition containing another operating system I'd love to hear it but I quite often use Restart for exactly that purpose. (I had and installation of Mandrake and Redhat awkwardly coexisting on the same machince for a while.) If there was another program I could use which would allow me to choose Reboot to "Other Operating System" I would probably use it instead of having to wait for GRUB to appear. - Alan H. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
