It only *seem* as those are unrelated. I assure you, they are _very_ relate= d (and it's very much my mistake for not making it clear in my initial e-ma= il).

Perhaps it would have been better to explain: Hey=85 + iX and I are working on enhancing the boot loader menu to include a new s= ubmenu for selecting a Boot Environment (BE). I'm providing the menu infras= tructure, iX is providing the C code to populate that menu. + We can't add this new menu item without pigeon-holing ourselves into a po= sition where no more menuitems can be added. + This pigeon-hole has forced the hand of moving some-or-all of the boot op= tions into a submenu. + This is what it would look like. and _then_ ask: + What do you think of how it looks? --=20 Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidentia= l.
