Hi! Here's what I would like to see in the final version of Feisty:
- The boot splash screen resolution (640x400) looks oddly on some monitors; what about changing it to a standard 640x480?
- The .run, .bin, ... files are associated by default with a text editor. I think that it would be more useful if they execute by default (maybe in a terminal).
- What about including a tool to configure Grub? A lot of distros have it.

The first one is specific to your monitor detection. My boot splash defaults to 1024x768. You can change the resolution yourself by editing: /etc/usplash.conf

.run and .bin files are associated with text editors because they have not been flagged as executable yet. Right click on them and mark them as executable (or chmod +x filename.bin) and then you can doubleclick on them to execute them.

A graphical GRUB configuration was one of the goals for feisty, but it was deffered. Maybe in the next release.

:)

Thanks for your reply! I didn't know of the usplash configuration.
