I think there's a missunderstanding here. savedefault itself is only meaningful in the context of the menu. The problem I noticed is that while "savedefault --default=X" affects the GRUB menu, the "--once" argument has no effect. I.e: once you run savedefault it won't be restored to 0 after the next GRUB run. > If the patch will make it to the main tree then I may investigate > fixing this issue --- I suspect it wouldn't be too hard. Okuji should pronounce on this, but I don't think the patch should be commited untill "--once" is fixed. -- Robert Millan "[..] but the delight and pride of Aule is in the deed of making, and in the thing made, and neither in possession nor in his own mastery; wherefore he gives and hoards not, and is free from care, passing ever on to some new work." -- J.R.R.T, Ainulindale (Silmarillion) _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
