Can we have GRUB2 not be distro-dependent, because I often depend on it to launch multiple different distros (and I'd rather not worry too much about which distro installed my grub2)? It [i.e., whether to use seamless mode transition] can be a setting in the grub.cfg if necessary. -Isaac _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
