and my question is this; will booting up a CD ever be supported in grub?
and if so, how long do you think it will be before this is implemented?
twould be a very nice feature... ive been trying to install various
versions of GNU these last few days, it would be really handy to be able
to just add an entry into grub's menu file, instead of choosing in the
BIOS to boot off the install CD every time (and back again to the hard
drive)

cheers,
Sam
