Creating Submenu !!! Yes it is possible :-)</blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8ex; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-style: solid; padding-left: 1ex; ">
Suppose the submenu file is called submenu.lst and located at /boot/grub </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8ex; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-style: solid; padding-left: 1ex; ">
We can call this submenu by placing the configuration below in menu.lst </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8ex; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-style: solid; padding-left: 1ex; ">

</div>Hi, i'm new here and I wanted to share some of my ideas.<br>
<br>
It's perfectly valid to want to both verify, live boot and install all<br>
the alternative desktops. Not everyone wants to use Gnome. It should<br>
also be clearly labeled as such because "Live" by itself is<br>
meaningless. Also, stating Fedora a bunch of times is redundant. I<br>
suggest the following for the boot menu:<br>
<br>
Boot Fedora Desktop Live<br>
Boot Fedora KDE Live<br>
Boot Fedora LXDE Live<br>
Boot Fedora XFCE Live<br>
<br>
Install Fedora Desktop<br>
<div class="im">Install Fedora KDE<br>
Install Fedora LXDE<br>
Install Fedora XFCE<br>
<br>
</div>Verify.... etc (list each)<br>
<br>
A user who has a copy of a multi spin disk shouldn't be surprised that<br>
their boot menu has a lot of options. We can't leave them off without<br>
reducing functionality and this disk shouldn't have less functionality<br>
than each of the individual LiveCDs.<br>
<br>
Also Is there any possibility of using sub menus in grub? Such that<br>
you only see a few options and when you select KDE for example, it<br>
asks if you want to Boot, Install or Verify the image?<br>
