does savedefault versus grub.conf/menu.lst

only affects the next boot, then without the --once option the change is permanent. However, if that is the case then when is grub.conf/menu.lst used and how does grub know when not to use it? thanks brett ___ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]

GRUB 'savedefault --once' operation

fy that the saved entry byte is the only thing that changes when I do the savedefault? -what am I doing wrong with the savedefault command (with the --once option) that is causing it to fail boot after running it? I can supply more details if needed... thanks! Brett

How is default boot image maintained internally?

ctors to store this info. Is it also true that there is no way to specify a text label (other than "saved") as the target for the default command? Thank you, Brett ___ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub

Suggestion: Sub-menu's

perhaps not everyone has has many backup kernels lying around in /boot :) Apologies if this has been suggested before, I didn't search the archive with much vigour... Please CC any responses to me, as I'm not subscribed thanks / Brett _
