Wow! It's a good thing there isn't a 2560x2048 frame buffer mode, or
you'd make that the default! ;-)

I have the same problem, which is it's nice that if you press a key at
the "boot:" prompt, it cancels the timeout and waits forever for you to
decide what selection to pick.
I actually find I miss the prompt MORE often, the LONGER I set it!
If it's too long, I think I have time, start doing something else and
miss it! If it's real short, then I pay closer attention when I boot.

I guess we could move/link those files to the CD, then they can't they
are matched to the CD, and they can't change (not counting my script).
If it's even possible to create the resulting files in the build ...

OK, the changes are committed.
EVERYONE, update from CVS NOW, before Heiko changes the defaults! ;->
