I am already getting good response from my Grub2 package for Zenwalk! Some questions are coming in I'm not sure about, so I will ask you guys. Here is the text from his email: 1. Is it possible to set the keyboard layout for grub? It's always hard to find the right characters at lilo prompt.

2. The only real advantage is, that I don't have to run lilo after kernel updates? I still have to edit the config file for my self compiled kernel updates? Example: Original Zenwalk kernel is always symlinked as /boot/vmlinuz. But my own kernels have names like: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.3 and should be booted as default. So after copying a new kernel to but I'll have to update my grub.cfg, too. Or is it posible to specify some "default settings" in that way:

set root=(hd0,2)
linux (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.*.* root=/dev/sda2 ro splash=silent vga=794
}
Which would list all vmlinuz-2.6.*.* kernels as menuentry and automatically set the highest version number as default. This would be cool :-D
---------------

I think the second is possible and requested he give it a try, but the keyboard thing, I just wasn't sure about.

Thanks,
Pat
