Scripting is an universal thing. If you speak about for x in /boot/vmlinuz-*; [...] it was just an example. "Menu modules" are also general thing. Lilo-like menu was also an example but it could also be used with other OS that linux (other loaders can also check for additional commands). About menu-entry syntax - I see nothing linux-centric Or don't I understand something? Vladimir
