Re: BugCommunicator as a GRUB BTS

2002-10-29 Thread Neal H. Walfield
IMHO, if the design of a software package sucks, it isn't worth improving, even if the implementation is elegant, beautiful, simple, and smart. Especially when the goal is different from yours, there is no point where you can contribute. That's why I started BugCommunicator. I surveyed some

Re: [PATCH] Allow appending kernel options directly from the main menu

2002-10-11 Thread Neal H. Walfield
I don't think that is so convenient, because you cannot see what any menu entry has on the top-level menu. I see my misunderstanding: I was under the impression that the user was already at the listing of a boot script and the problem was which line in the script to edit.

Re: [PATCH] Allow appending kernel options directly from the main menu

2002-10-08 Thread Neal H. Walfield
The following patch lets users to directly edit the kernel command line by pressing 'a' at the grub menu. This makes it significantly easier for users to do things such as boot in single user mode or pass kernel options for debugging. Honestly, I'm not very fascinated with this kind

Re: Adding [bug-grub] to subjects ?

2001-09-24 Thread Neal H Walfield
Is it possible to add the `[bug-grub]' string in the subjects by the mailing system, as many other projects do ( [parisc-linux], [uClinux], [eepro100], [Etherboot-developers], etc). No, please do not. In my oppinion is it a convenient way to better overlook a big amount of mails.

[Bug-grub] Grub does not compile on the hurd

2000-09-17 Thread Neal H Walfield
Hi, Trying to compile on the hurd yielded some error messages during the build. I was using the CVS version which compiles fine under GNU/Linux. I have included a snipped output of make. I can send the whole file if needed. -Neal -- Neal H Walfield University of Massachusetts at Lowell

Your Makefile seems to be quite broken. Didn't you run (an invalid version of) automake yourself? I ran 2.13 on both the hurd and the linux box (both are debian systems). Do one still need to apply the patch to autoconf? Thanks, -Neal -- Neal H Walfield University of Massachusetts

Re: enhanced password feature

2000-04-23 Thread Neal H Walfield
Hi, I consider 'lock' to be just fine as there is no notion of 'identity' inside GRUB. It simply is a 'locked' entry that needs to get 'unlocked' with a password as the 'key' - right? Maybe 'locked', or 'protected' then - no idea which is better. The 'privileged' thing is not suitable IMHO
