How can we stay on top of all this flow? Its tough. We have the people bickering over shells and Linux versus Solaris and then the guys that are actually trying to code. Myself and a few others are working on GRUB2 for the PowerPC port and fighting towards a netboot of the PowerPC based kernel while there is a pile of noise about bourne shell versus bash for root. So the signal to noise ratio can be a bit more messy than some mailling lists like the POVRay UNIX ml or ClamAV or GRUB2 mailing lists. Such is life. > btw: if your GRUB started in graphics mode (with splash screen) > can you boot over network without manually switching to console > mode? It doesn't work for me with b17. Oh, you want the pretty graphic and the menu.lst to work ? I didn't bother trying actually :-) I sort of got what I wanted and then ran along without looking back at legacy GRUB. Kind of a coward huh? Sorry . Dennis _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
