I don't understand, there is no problem. When you boot, you will see a menu like (invented numbers):
title openSUSE 11.1 - 2.6.27.4-2 title openSUSE 11.1 - 2.6.27.4-1 title openSUSE 11.1 - 2.6.27.3-5
What's the problem with that? Because that's the way it is handled, AFAIK.
A new user might not know how to handle three different offers.
Wow. They should, it is not that difficult :-p
Therefore it might be useful to "hide" the opportunities but have them available on request.
That's why I gave the example with KDM and the opportunity to decide which window manager to use for the next login session. The alternatives (KDE3,KDE4,gnome,...) aren't visibile by default in KDM.
On the other side one additional line at the grub menu shown for 8 seconds shouldn't be too confusing.
Mmm... I don't think that is currently possible. You could ask Grub developers for that feature, though. AFAIK, grub code has to be small, it has to use BIOS services to do things, thus the features it can handle are limited. And it is more important to be able to boot safely many computer types than pop up nice and complex menus :-) The only thing that is currently possible is to change the text shown by each menu entry. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
