Grub special boot
On a dual boot system (W98 & Sarge), I have to restrict all except
specific users from using W98. I've read the Grub manual and need to
know if a modified "menu.lst" will do the job.
First, I believe I use the 'hide' command so the normal menu isn't seen.
Then, use 'title' as a message to the user telling them that will need
to press a specific key if they are authorized to use W98. Otherwise,
another key to boot to Sarge, or else shutdown.
Then, use 'lock' (or 'password'?). This will allow access to W98.
Another specific key will allow a normal Sarge boot. I also have to have
an option to allow shutdown. Looks like the command is 'halt'.
The manual is not a HOWTO and this oddball situation is not specifically
considered in the manual, so if I'm way off base, please say so.
Jim
