5) I need to define "something" (In my grub legacy fork is a menu.lst)
that lets me choose the harddisk-partition which I want to work
on. Can I make it easily?
You mean as a variable? That's possible.
I will explain this point in more detail if you don't mind. Here goes
copy-pasted
1) the first the "lst" for hard disks and then
2)the second one the "sh" that makes the "lst" for partitions.
3) An "lst" for making easier to call the selection of partitions from
inside a function or whatever.
4) An example of how this menues/selectors are called. (lst)
I'm not asking you to develop a command for giving me this lst on the
fly adapted to the user pc. You know what I was telling before: If the
users hard disk has only three partitions make an array with only three
values which are the partitions.
I'm asking you to think about new features that scripting should have so
that the developing of this command is far easy.
OFFTOPIC NOTE: I am working on grub legacy call and back commands so
that what you see below actually works. I think this night it will work
ok but who knows.
