Hello,
I have small suggestion for GRUB.
Background: during using of GRUB in the production-state computers for dual 
boot, I found a couple of curious, but unexperienced users, is playing with 
the starting menu, sometimes with catastriphical consequencies. So I would 
recommend to 'hide' the on-screen help under menu with certain option. One 
possible solution you can see in the included patch. The included menu 
command 'hideoptions' is leaving the command usability intact, but it is 
hiding the help only, so sysop can use commands, but curiosity of the 
end-users is not provocated any more.
The patch has been done against grub-0.92-1mdk.rpm (Mandrake Cooker).
I hope, it will be usefull...
Regards, Jan.
