OK - tanks - than take it as a proposal -> Why - Ubuntu must adapt dinamic
to changes - then - a lot of let say advanced Linux users on other areas -
wil to the same mistake like me - writing menu.lst by hand ..so the proposal
is for a script -> to check other valid lines that are not generated by
Debian Automatic Kernel script -> then move to outside with the mension "
Those valid ( valuable lines ) were moved outside of automatic generated
zone - to prezerve your customisation against future kernel upgrades. Your
customisation was not afected."
This way a potential enemy can be killed from start - even a people like me
wrote lines on the "hot" area. Mo more complaints for "nothing", low trafic
on mailing lists ;) ...etc - so please consider my proposal.
Anyway please read again the first message from this list - I dont know why
but I feel it is unsolved by now...
