I am already getting good response from my Grub2 package for Zenwalk!
Some questions are coming in I'm not sure about, so I will ask you guys.
Here is the text from his email:
1. Is it possible to set the keyboard layout for grub? It's always hard
to find the right characters at lilo prompt.
2. The only real advantage is, that I don't have to run lilo after
kernel updates? I still have to edit the config file for my self
compiled kernel updates? Example: Original Zenwalk kernel is always
symlinked as /boot/vmlinuz. But my own kernels have names like:
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.3 and should be booted as default. So after copying
a new kernel to but I'll have to update my grub.cfg, too. Or is it
posible to specify some "default settings" in that way:
set root=(hd0,2)
linux (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.*.* root=/dev/sda2 ro
splash=silent vga=794
}
Which would list all vmlinuz-2.6.*.* kernels as menuentry and
automatically set the highest version number as default. This would be
cool :-D
---------------
I think the second is possible and requested he give it a try, but the
keyboard thing, I just wasn't sure about.
Thanks,
Pat
