It will be more modular than old grub legacy hacks. But I fear you need to hack this yourself :). Basicly current idea is that you just re-implement viewer/controller module for the menu. But using both serial (text terminal) and graphical menu could be an issue that could be solved... could be nice feature for servers as a backup control. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
