Description of problem: s-c-b currently only allows you to choose which boot post that should be default, and timeout delay. This is much too limited! For a successful OS, TUSNHTRTAT(TM) (The User Should Never Have To Resort To A Terminal) You should at least be able to control: // stored in grub.conf - rhgb (on/off) - vga mode - kernel verboseness (quiet/silent/..) // stored in inittab - initial runlevel Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.2.7-1
TUSNHTRTAT(TM) is also known as TSBAGFE(TM) (There Should Be A GUI For Everything)

oops, wrong bug :)
grub.conf also permits the usage of the failback option: unfortunately, the option is not available through the systen-config-boot utility. I guess there should be a check box to permit the failover feature to be toggled.
I got the terminology wrong It the fallback option no failback. Also I have added the fallback option to the source extracted from the SRC RPM on rawhide; however, I have never created a patch. I read a few documents on the Internet but I am getting confused, I've submitted what I think is a patch. Apologies if this is wrong: this is the first patch I've submitted.
