Willing yes, capable not. Lacking time and skill. Skill can still improve, but time.... :-/ > If having a color command means that GRUB 2 will be used more, I am > willing to add such command. Okuji, do you object? Yes, I think so. But as said on IRC, I don't think the interface has to be a color command. As long as we can display something that is not uglier than "color cyan/blue white/blue" (and we don't have to wait ages untill the new fancy menu is ready), that's ok. > But I am only > willing to add this if the Debian people ensure me that they will > switch to whatever fancy graphics system we implement in the future, > when it is ready ;-). I'm all for that, at least in desktops. -- Robert Millan My spam trap is honeypot@aybabtu.com. Note: this address is only intended for spam harvesters.
