When you change the startup system selection in GRUB, your selection
should become the new default. To me this is obvious.
A nice addition would be a checkbox that would allow booting the
selected system this time only (i.e. not setting the default).
You could reach this checkbox simply by h

Grub4all is done by "Gandalf" and adds the fsys_ntfs.c to Grub4dos for the

What would be best way to get a new release including all these great
features ?
Any suggestion ?

GRUB is a great program, and for people who need to know everything about
it, I'm sure the manual is excellent. However, I would suggest that most
people, like me, usually only want to know how to do a small number of
simple tasks such as creating a bootable floppy or getting a

My suggestion would be to leave Grub as is. The enhancement is purely
for appearance. Most of the users are used to seeing their menu choices
and can adapt easily. The usefulness comes in if you are constantly
rebooting with a variety of OSes. Grub is definitely a giant leap forward

If it doesn't have to be elegant, you can write something like this to
achieve the same effect:
title Foo
kernel (hd0,0)/foo
title ---
I think it would be nifty to be able to draw a line to separate
sections of the GRUB menu. I sifted through the source, and it looked
like such a thing wouldn't be crazy-hard to implement; the code is
well-organized. I'd give it a go myself, but I only have the one machine

I suggest that the hide partition feature be expanded to hide disks as well.
This would fix the problem I'm having adding cp/m to my boot menu.
Boot manager pro has this feature, http://bootmanager-pro.com/default.asp .
Grub does not yet.

You can append "init=/bin/sh" to the kernel line and bring up a shell
instead of init. From there you can remount your root partition and edit
any files that you need to. As for an editor, all of the filesystem

Gentlemen,
I am loving GRUB. Nice stuff you have there! I've got an idea that

about editing them? I know, I know... you're not going for a full OS

Hey,
A small idea for the menu interface...

I don't think it is possible. And I don't think it is worth doing,
either.

First off, let me say I think GNU GRUB is wonderful.. It
boots Linux wonderfully over here, and I imagine it will
boot other OS's well too once I install them (except for
DOS apparently, which is the purpose of this message)..
