I would like to submit for critique, suggests, etc. this program I have
made. It is the first GUI app I've made in Linux, and I would appreciate
some constructive criticism.
I made this program because system-config-boot as it exists (in FC4 and
FC5Test3 at least) only allows for selecting of a default boot entry and
changing of the timeout. And FC tends to accumulate a large list of boot
entries during its release cycle. Who knows, maybe this can be included in
FC.
I coded it on a machine running FC5Test3 in case that makes any difference.
Peace

At first blush it looks good, only some minor comments.
It would be nice to have some mouse-hover pop up help or
maybe a full blown help button on the Edit-Boot-Entry screen.
I'm not sure what options like "Make root active" actually do.
Would be nice if only the tab for the boot type (kernel/
chainloader) you select was available. Or at least the one
not selected should be dimmed out to make it clear that it's
not needed.
The default and fallback designators are a little odd. I realize
you're supporting all the features of boot.conf by showing them.
It just seems a bit strange changing the menu order and not making
the top one the default. Probably nothing to do here, just
didn't feel right at first.
Not sure what the modules list on the kernel tab is meant to do.

That's what "installonlyn" plugin is for.

Then submit that as a patch against the current application and file a
RFE. installonlyn plugin already solves this problem without resorting
to tweaking.
