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?
