Hi, But menuentry statement is already changed for similar reason. Colin adds --class option, you add --users option, why would add another option --save and --nosave be any difference ? BTW, the save_env method doesn't works menu items generated dynamically. For example, the menu items added by osdetect.lua or sub menu items by menu_create. -- Bean My repository: https://launchpad.net/burg _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
