Hi, Some of my consideration about splitting of normal mode.
1, In some environment, we have size limit of the boot image. Normal.mod is too big, and rescue mode has too little functionality. Using the split method, we could combine modules in anyway we wanted. 2, Speaking of linux, it's actually doing the same thing. The kernel is in vmlinuz, while the initialization script is in initrd.img. We don't want the user to enter those commands manually, a default boot.cfg should be used by grub-mkimage. 3. Currently, the structure of normal.mod just mix things together to a point that make modification difficult, if not impossible. For example, the current bash script engine is not quite suitable for gui interaction. With the split mode, we could develop a new parser without interfere with existing function. -- Bean _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
