Since the file /etc/default/grub really is about configuring update-grub behaviour, couldn't it be renamed /etc/update-grub.conf ? (It should be possible to source both, for transition)
The variable GRUB_DEFAULT seems to be counted from 0 currently. Couldn't it be changed to count from 1. (I can't think of any clever way to make a transition, though) Could we add some comments, within /etc/default/grub (especially GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, since many people will use it). # This file is sourced by update-grub, and its variables are propagated # to its childs in /etc/grub.d/ # Default menuentry to boot (counted from 0) GRUB_DEFAULT=0 # Menu timeout. (GRUB_DEFAULT is booted after timeout) GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=Debian # Parameter(s) to be appended to all Linux kernel entries #GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= Thanks, Franklin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
