Thanks for the reply Gregg. I think 0.97 is the path I will explore further. One last question. Do you know where the legacy archives are. I couldn't find them.

Regards,  Antonio

Hello,

I apologize if this is the wrong list, but this is the list I have found
through my searches. Please tell me where to go if this is not the proper place.

I would like to have grub do a conditional statement similar to this:

if file_name on /dev/cdrom matches file_name on /dev/sda1 (USB device) then
boot Linux else boot Windows

I've search through the Grub site and see there is some support for scripting, but I don't know how developed it is and if it can do what I'm asking. At the
boot loader stage can it even see the cdrom or USB?

I also saw in the older Grub archives ....

"For scripting support, there are a lot of uses.  For example booting a
specific OS depending on the time.  Some people requested that.  If
you look in the pupa-devel archives, you can find the examples Okuji
gave."

But, I can't find the pupa-devel archives, they seem to be off-line.

I'm using CentOS 5.0 and if I can do it with Grub 0.97 that comes with the
distro that would be great.  I can also upgrade if needed.

Any comments or direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

Antonio

Hello!
This is for the GRUB2 development efforts. Ideally you'd want the one
for Grub-Legacy. Oh and if your release of GRUB-0.97 was patched by
the Centos builders in some way we'll be able to advise you of course,
but your advised to bring the matter to them.
