Feature changed by: Dainius Masiliunas (GreatEmerald) Feature #314624, revision 3 Title: Re-implement the Section Management tab in YAST - Boot Loader for grub2 openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Mircea Kitsune (mirceakitsune) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Since grub2 became default for openSUSE, I upgraded to it from grub. Everything works well, but there's one inconvenience: The fields to modify and sort entries are gone from Yast -> System -> Boot Loader. It would be nice if this section could implement the same menu for grub2, so users with less experience don't need to hack configuration files to modify entries. For grub, there was a "Section Management" tab and a "Boot Loader Installation" tab in the Boot Loader window. When grub2 is installed, the first tab is gone, and only the second one exists. Here is a screenshot (not mine) showing the tab that existed for grub and is gone in grub2: http://i45.tinypic.com/lfpyq.png Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It would be nice if this section could implement the same menu for grub2, so users with less experience don't need to hack configuration files to modify entries. + Discussion: + #1: Dainius Masiliunas (greatemerald) (2012-11-19 18:26:22) + It's actually there, you just need to look in a different place.
