I'm not sure if this is something that would need to be implemented in the program that generates CD images (genisoimage) or in the bootloader (isolinux). I would guess the first. Reassigning to the debian-cd team as they may know and it's more appropriate there anyway. Maybe it's already possible even? I know Windows CDs will prompt to "press any key to boot from CD" during 5 seconds or so _if_ there is an alternative bootable device. There is at least one disadvantage to changing this: it makes booting the installer a bit more awkward for visually handicapped users. > I'm unsure if a 60 sec timeout to boot from harddisk as in SuSE may be > cool, but at least an option to do this would be a great comfort. It would be great if you could find out how they have implemented that and add that info to this bug report.
