In GRUB 1.96, typing an input line longer than the screen is wide does not cause the screen to scroll. Effectively this means once I get to the bottom of the screen, anything I type that's longer than 80 characters (less prompt) I have to type blind. Aside from not being able to see what I type, everything behaves normally. My GRUB configuration is plain vanilla. GRUB's on a FAT12 floppy read in using biosdisk, there's no grub.cfg file, and I directly type in insmod, ls, linux, initrd, boot, and all that jazz. I haven't made any modifications to the source, and I'm using the 1.96 release I found on alpha.gnu.org. I have the biosdisk and fat modules compiled into the GRUB image. -- Andy Goth | http://andy.junkdrome.org/ unununium@{aircanopy.net,openverse.com}
