Subject: Install scripts?

Message-ID: <49934352.5070003@earthlink.net> (raw)
I'm hoping maybe one of you guys have written or know of something
written from a ncurses point of view. A script that is interactive when
installing a Linux distro with Grub2? Something that queries the user
which is the boot partition or where to install Grub2 to the MBR, etc.
Hopefully, I'm making myself clear.
I think I may have the lead dev for Zenwalk convinced Grub2 is ready to
replace LILO! Here is an excerpt from his email.
quote:
Before this package can be moved to extra, and probably to ISO for
Zenwalk 6.2, here's the task list :
- add a script that does everything automatic (for the setup) , with
a choice (dialog) for the location of the boot loader (/dev/sda...).
With this script, the user only have to provide the target for the
boot loader, nothing else
- Add the Zenwalk theme (nothing has to be done by the user about
this)
Any thoughts or suggestions where someone is already using something
like that?
Thanks!
Pat
