Re: [orca-list] Getting to the boot menu to install Linux



That is about right. And yes, I'll agree with you about the fish.

Subject: Re: [orca-list] Getting to the boot menu to install Linux

Okay, so it sounds like that, even if one were comfortable opening up
and temporarily disconnecting the harddrive, the best you could do
without a monitor and a functioning eyeball is:

1. Disconnect hard drive.

2. Boot live media.

3. change the boot order from the live environment

4. shut down.

5. reconnect the hard drive.

6. boot the install media

And repeat this rigamarole every time you want to do a clean install
or boot a live environment to create/restor a back up of your system
partition or do other rescue tasks... and that's assuming the
temporary change to the boot order can survive a cold boot.

Anyone else feel like slapping whoever's responsible for the broken,
industry standard default with a fish?
