Summary: Review Request: bootconf https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=188445 ------- Additional Comments From mrsam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2006-05-12 18:44 EST ------- << why the tools out there aren't already doing the job. >> Neither grubby, nor booty, based on my cursory overview, allows a non-technical person to set common kernel boot options without mucking around with the command line, making a typo, and hosing himself. grubby isn't in base, or Extras. I installed booty. Where's the GUI, that will let me choose to enable or disable the VESA framebuffer, or enable/disable the boot verbosity? It's possible that I missed it, but I wasn't able to find a convenient GUI interface for setting kernel boot options. As far as why those three -- it's because these three are the most common options that someone might need to adjust. <<< While the 3 arguments in question are fairly harmless, in general kernel parameter customization should affect a selected kernel or a selected list of kernels, not every kernel. From running the GUI, that intended behavior is not obvious. >>> The intended audience is not a technical IT developer, who needs to screw around with different kernels and options. The intended audience is a NON-TECHNICAL, desktop user who wants to adjust common, global, boot parameters. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
