Boot screen editing
Posted: Sat Jan 20, 2007 6:53 am
Hi all,
I've set my son up on a P4 with both Windows XP and "Bea". The idea behind this being I'm tired of cleaning out spyware and the other garbage that Windows seems to attract. On windows he has no internet access but does on Mint. (let's be honest windows is good for games and Linux is better for web and work:-) I change my daughter to a Mac 12 months ago and that solved the problem for her but he likes to play current Windows based games.
When I used Suse you could alter the order of programs that appeared in the boot screen and also hide some. At the moment at boot he gets five choices and I'd like to change it to just linux and Windows. I don't want him say accidentally booting into recovery for example.
Is this possible?
Cheers
Rod
