That's actually a good idea. Doesn't help with my desire to have a grub timeout available always, but it's a reasonably neat solution and it does at least mean we get a timeout if we're likely not booting. I like it Bill, thanks for the suggestion. Jon. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
