Hi my name is Anthony Cunningham and I have recently joined this list. I'd had some ideas for features for Grub and the wiki mentions putting them on this list in case they exist, or others may be working on something similar.
One idea is that after the timeout a random entry is chosen from the boot menu, instead of default. The use case I had in mind would be where multiple distributions are installed and the user would let a random one boot as an incentive to learn to work with that distributions package manager, destop environment etc. the entry could be like : random //any random entry random (4,5,8) //random of 4, 5 or 8 random not (3,5,9) //random , except these..for not choosing windows or rescue partitions etc. Also another feature I thought of (when may exist) is a per entry splashscreen setting, and moving up and down with the arrow keys would change the background splashscreen. I think this would be a nice feature to show OS specific splashscreens Windows, Red Hat, FreeBSD etc. Anthony _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
