Suggestions (mouse & Disable Windows boot Timeout)

[Luis Antonio Villas Boas]

I suggest two new features:
1 - To use the mouse to select which OS will boot.
2- Insert an option to inhibit the "Windows boot timeout" which is currently limited to a maximum of 99 seconds.

I suggest two solutions:
1. Post that to the grub2 forum.
2. Set the "Windows boot timeout" pause time to 0.

1: I will try it.

2: Using "0" in the Windows boot timeout box disabled grub. At startup,
Windows boots automatically, without choosing an OS. I would like an
infinite timeout, only by my command the OS will be selected, never by
timerout.

Ref #1: I don't think GRUB2 has a mouse driver, however it may be possible for drummer to add one. He is good.

Ref #2. Why turn the pc on if you don't want to boot it? If you would like it to boot a different system change the menu's default menu.

A new feature I would like to see added is support for grub2win to not be the top boot option. If there is a problem with Windows booting being able to conveniently boot from a USB drive to correct the problem is helpful.

And when Windows works and the USB drive is not plugged in boot the grub2win option.

Hi Luis,

I'm working on disabling the default boot in a new version of Grub2WIn.
There is currently no provision in GNU Grub to set the default boot completely off.
It turns out that the timeout can be set to 999,999,999 seconds (31 years) so effectively infinite.

There is no way for me to provide a mouse, touchscreen or touchpad driver to GNU Grub.
GNU Grub is sort of a mini OS that runs at boot time.
The GNU Grub code is managed by the GNU Grub group.
You may want to request a driver from them.

Hope this helps.
