Editing GRUB configuration, suggestions?

[flamesage]

It works, great.
But I want to fancy it up a bit.
Does anyone know any useful GRUB options?

Here is my GRUB menu.lst right now.

Code: Select all

# GRUB configuration file '/boot/grub/menu.lst'.
# generated by 'grubconfig'.  Fri Nov  4 21:19:38 2005
#
# The backup copy of the MBR for drive '/dev/hda' is
# here '/boot/grub/mbr.hda.666'.  You can restore it like this.
# dd if=/boot/grub/mbr.hda.666 of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1
#
# Start GRUB global section
#timeout 30
color light-gray/blue black/light-gray
# End GRUB global section
# Other bootable partition config begins
  title System Recovery Option (on /dev/hda1)
  rootnoverify (hd0,0)
  makeactive
  chainloader +1
# Other bootable partition config ends
# Other bootable partition config begins
  title WindowsXP (on /dev/hda2)
  map (hd0,0) (hd0,1)
  map (hd0,1) (hd0,0)
  rootnoverify (hd0,1)
  makeactive
  chainloader +1
# Other bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
  title Puppy Linux (on /dev/hda3)
  root (hd0,2)
  kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 ro vga=normal
# Linux bootable partition config ends
title Install GRUB to floppy disk (on /dev/fd0)
pause Insert a formatted floppy disk and press enter.
root (hd0,2)
setup (fd0)
pause Press enter to continue.
title Install GRUB to Linux partition (on /dev/hda3)
root (hd0,2)
setup (hd0,2)
pause Press enter to continue.
title -     For help press 'c', then type: 'help'
root (hd0)
title -     For usage examples, type: 'cat /boot/grub/usage.txt'
root (hd0)

Got any tips / tricks to make my life easier?

Yeah, I guess, thanks.

(I wish it had more paramaters, but this will have to do)

Is there anyway, from grub, to tell PuppyLinux to boot into command line? Instead of Xwin?

Also: What different text strings could I use to change the foreground and background colors?
