Yes, when user has two systems configured in menu.lst (say, A and B), and per has set to boot A as default. Sometimes per'll want to boot into B just once, and wants a quick command to do it, no editing of menu.lst. This is what we implemented in the debian package (grub-reboot), because many users wanted this feature. It is actualy one of the reasons that motivated the debian-installer hackers to use GRUB for sarge instead of LILO. -- Robert Millan "[..] but the delight and pride of Aule is in the deed of making, and in the thing made, and neither in possession nor in his own mastery; wherefore he gives and hoards not, and is free from care, passing ever on to some new work." -- J.R.R.T., Ainulindale (Silmarillion) _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
