Package: syslinux a feature that would be very handy is to have the default boot settable to the installed hard drive. I've done this on a floppy by using a borrowed syslinux.cfg entry (borrowed from a SCO united linux install image) that looked like: # hard disk label harddisk kernel linux append SLX=0x202 of course, to work as the request intends, this entry would have to be set as the default. the reason for this request is it would be nice to leave such a CD in production systems and in the event of problems, they could be brought up on the BBC image and repaired via remote console. However, in the event of a power failure the machine would boot normally after the timeout. -- Rob
