Editing grub2 menu entry is far more complicated than even editing plain grub legacy menu entry. And most users have never seen even that - they know gfxmenu that has input field for extra kernel parameters. So for 99% of *users* booting into single user was a matter of pressing "1 ENTER". Most of them are not even aware that menu entries can be edited (because for them gfxmenu *was* grub). For them doing anything in grub2 (even as much as forcing system into single user) is shocking experience. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
