Okuji =================== BUG #1647: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT =================== Submitted by: jbuttery Project: GNU GRUB Submitted on: 2002-Nov-08 16:15 Category: User Interface Severity: Minor Priority: None Bug Group: Feature Request Resolution: None Assigned to: None Status: Open Release: 0.92 Reproducibility: Every Time Planned Release: Summary: Would like a text-mode boot option ala LILO Original Submission: I apologize if this is just something I'm missing, because it sure seems odd to me that it isn't there; in any case, the only way I've found to get a text-mode boot (meaning, something that doesn't make my monitor "mode-switch"), is to remove menu.lst altogether, which does give me a text-mode boot, but just to the grub> prompt. I'm not looking to go quite that minimalist. :) What I'm looking for is something that presents information in plain text mode, like LILO, but has the same functionality of the current pseudo-graphical interface. I know you can remove the "splashimage" file (I already did), but the effect is still the same (although the background is blank now :)). Follow-up Comments ******************* ------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2002-Nov-24 13:05 By: okuji So the dumb interface exists. It would be overkill to even add another interface, IMO. Okuji ------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2002-Nov-22 17:39 By: hno For one thing not all terminals is happy with the psuedo-graphical menu. Sometimes when working over serial I do agree that having a really simple boot "menu" similar to the lilo prompt would be very nice. Suggestion: Grub: [entryname] * if no keyboard activity before timeout, boot default entry * to select a entry, type the name of the entry * to boot a selected entry, press enter * to edit a selected entry, press Control-E * Tab completetion can be used to speed up typing. If multiple matches are found, complete up to the first differing character. If no characters can be added by tab completetion print all matching entries. * (optional) Control-N and Control-P can be used to navigate up/down in the menu, starting at the default entry (or first matching entry in case of partial entry). * To exit to the grub> command line prompt, press Control-C. Just a suggestion.. ------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2002-Nov-08 17:21 By: okuji For what is it useful?
