I added both, since grml-network sometimes hangs for a few seconds while checking the network status (and does not provide a cancel button). > grml-x shouldn't be run as root, JFYI ;) I know. >> I guess even for people that type really fast this is an improvement (if >> not, it requires a single keystroke to get out) - and even better for >> those that cannot type that fast (typing »su grml -c 'grml-x fluxbox'« >> is a bit more than typing »xf«). > > Well, alt-f5 + 'grml-x fl<tab>' works too ;) I used this as well. But most of the time i just forget to switch consoles between grml-lang and grml-x, so it does not work (and I have to retry). Having it both in one menu is easier :) >> The main question now is if something like that would be included into >> grml > > grml has the policy to finish booting without a single keystroke.

It does not use ncurses, but uses some linux-console specific escape sequences (that work on screen as well). And yes, it preserves the scrollback buffer. For skipping, now both "q" and enter work, because I tried to quit it with "q" myself a few times (although I have written it...) > Nice idea! I'd like to see that in action. See the attached file.

I got a private mail asking me whether to use pdmenu instead. My answer is no, since pdmenu uses ncurses, and requires two keystrokes to run a command. On the other hand, its predefined menu (which uses the Debian menu tools) is nice since it contains lots of console tools, so I added pdmenu (which is already present on grml) to the tools list as well.
