Wed 09 Sep 2009 12:33:39 AM UTC, comment #1: I'm not sure how grub-mkrescue worked when you filed this, but nowadays I think this should append to the configuration file rather than overwriting it. As it is in your patch, there isn't all that much benefit of --cfg over --overlay beyond avoiding a little bit of directory setup; but an option that appends to the configuration file would save having to duplicate the 'insmod' commands that grub-mkrescue already inserts into the configuration file. |

I have started playing with GRUB 2 and found the grub-mkrescue utility very useful. Basically I want to generate a boot floppy disk that I can later use in a virtual machine, without touching its virtual hard disk contents. I also want this image to show me a menu with a couple of options, so that I do not have to enter commands continuously.

As discussed on the list --overlay is considered the correct way and we should avoid options existing for their own sake.
