Package: Grub Version: 0.97-22
KDM has an option to provide a list of the operating system options available in the grub "menu.lst" file. To have this list available from KDM, the BootManager=Grub option must be set in the "kdmrc" file located in the /etc/kde3/kdm directory. This is a great feature for multi boot systems. You can select an OS to boot into from the KDM Restart menu. Then upon rebooting grub will automatically boot the selected OS without requiring user intervention to select it in the boot menu. This feature works in openSUSE and I beleive that I saw in a post in their bug reports that the bug was in the grub package that causes it to not work properly which openSUSE has patched. In the Debian etch system, this feature doesn't work properly and even after selecting the desired OS, the standard grub menu comes up as if nothing was selected from the KDM menu.
