Is there something I can add to my /etc/grub/menu.lst that will show up the same information as the LiveCD's F2 / F3 screens?

I'd find it helpful to have the boot options listings available when I boot up (especially these days as I'm trying to tune my machine).

Much thanks,
John

I think you can create a menu entry that uses "cat <filename>" instead of "kernel <kernel string>", but I have not tried it and don't know the specifics of how it's done.

Or you could use extlinux; it accepts the same configuration as syslinux and isolinux

from the grub info pages:
Quote
13.3.3 cat
----------

-- Command: cat file
    Display the contents of the file FILE. This command may be useful
    to remind you of your OS's root partition:

         grub> cat /etc/fstab

Try this at first in the shell.

- I've been using extlinux with dsl-3.4.x and dsl-4.x for a few months now with usb boot. It works well and you can work with files in w2k with the freeware ext drivers.
