I've tried coding this in grub some times ago. It used to work nicely in grub 0.5.x, but i've not adapted nicely to 0.9.0 afaik. Here is what I use: http://www.mandrakelinux.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/SPECS/grub/grub-0.90-altconfigfile2.patch?rev=1&content-type=text/plain you also need this patch: http://www.mandrakelinux.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/SPECS/grub/grub-0.5.96.1-init-config-end--prepatch.patch?rev=1&content-type=text/plain you can use rebootin as an usage example: http://www.mandrakelinux.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/soft/initscripts/mandrake/loader/rebootin?rev=1&content-type=text/plain -- Pixel _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
