actually, i've no issue with having new entries added ... good to have the boot options, i suppose. the issue is to be able to NOT switch, or in other words KEEP, the same/current grub entry selection that's selected at the beginning of the process. i understand that _adding_ the entry is expected behavior. is switching the grub entry # expected behavior as well? if yes, then "configurable" feature request may be the right next step. thanks! -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
