Package: di-netboot-assistant Version: 0.36 Tags: patch Severity: wishlist Hi,
Please default PROMPT to 0 in pxelinux.HEAD - it seems a little silly to me
for di-netboot-assistant to construct a pretty menu and then ask the user to
randomly press enter 99.9% of the time, especially as that screen is full of
technical PXE debugging output, etc.
The attached patch does this, as well as adds a note to the commented out
sample entry indicating what they must do to use it if it was uncommented.
(It seems reasonable to me that anyone using entries like that should alter
PROMPT--unless they plan on holding Shift or Alt whilst booting--for the
benefit of the default users who do not add entries there who get to avoid
the aforementioned "strange" prompt.)
Regards,
