Bug#82526: netenv: Feature request: Default selection and timeout

[dlux@dlux.hu]

Package: netenv
Version: 0.82-11
Severity: wishlist

Hello!

	I have downloaded the "netenv", and I've found it very useful, but I missed something from it.

	The first thing what was I missed is the default selection. If I select something at the first time, then next time I want it to the default.

	I hacked it into the script, but it is quite a dirty hack, so a much cleaner solution would be better. I replaced the "cp"-s with "ln"-s, and the /etc/netenv/netenv is a symlink in my version.

	My version of the init-script and the netenv script is available at http://spam.sch.bme.hu/~dlux/netenv

	Warning: these are DIRTY hacks! It may not even work!

	Another problem, which is not addressed in my hacks, is the timeout issue. It would be good if I can set a timeout (e.g. with sigalarm), and this would kill the dialog and continue the boot with the default option.
