If grub itself can parse the grub.cfg file, I don't know why update tools couldn't also parse it and do intelligent merges, preserving kernel options, etc. As I recall, one of the really big selling points for grub taking over from lilo was that you didn't need to run any silly tools to update the boot config, now we have "improved" grub back to the point where you need the extra silly tools again... > PPS: Fedora uses upstart too! Yea, but the fedora upstart script is willing to look in /etc/inittab to pick out the run level to decide if it should start gdm (the only thing inittab is still used for in fedora :-). Come to think of it, this may be the single instance of any linux improvement attempting to preserve backwards compatibility :-). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
