Marc, yep - vi works for me too `- ok for the first node, a bit boring by the 5th and extremely error prone and mind numbing by the time you get to node 173 Daniel. On Tuesday 24 February 2004 11:03 pm, marc.miller@amd.com wrote:
I've had pretty good success with vi. :-P

Folks, I am building kernels as RPMs for use in installing across a large Opteron cluster. For this need a post-install script that will reliably updated and maintain /boot/grub/menu.1st A node may have say 2 or 3 bootable kernels active at any one time.
With RedHat, I had the 'grubby' tool that could be used to add a new entry such that it inherited the kernel options etc. of whatever the current default kernel is. There doesn't appear to be an equivalent to Grubby in the SuSE distro - (but I guess there must me something related to grubby that creates the menu.lst file when first installing SuSE from say CD)
So my question is - without me reinventing the wheel, what is the prefered way of adding (and removing)entries to /boot/grub/menu.1st ?
Yours, Daniel.
