Heh, now I am defending a feature I don't really want, need or care about myself. It's just that the idea is not that bad, not that I want it or so. The problem of the person who proposed this, is that he can not change some of his operating systems. Which of course is a problem of non-free software. -- Marco _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
