More GRUB editing | ben.hamilton.id.au

Two pages I’ve found useful when playing with GRUB (a Boot loader that allows you to choose between multiple operating systems on boot up) are these: #

The GRUB Manual
The GRUB page – particularly this one on temporarily editing a GRUB menu item

It is nice to be able to re-order the menu items, change the length of time the menu stays on screen and change the wording of each entry. #

Share and Enjoy:

Any idea if this works on an imac? I’m using bootcamp for Mac OS and Win XP, but I’d love to add one of the flavours of linux to the mix.

Honestly I don’t know as I’ve not played with the Mac enough. But a quick google turned up this link about fedora on a Mac – so GRUB on a Mac is not unheard of.
