I've built extfs3 into the kernels. If the kernel is on an ext3 filesystem, yes. This is GRUB's module, it uses it to read an ext3 filesystem in order to load the kernel. > 2) I assume that the the first "menuentry" will be the default boot? Yes, you'll see default=3D0 in the first part of grub.cfg. > 3) Is the default timeout still 5 seconds? Not sure on that one, but look at grub.cfg. > 3) I assume that 640x480 is supported on just about every monitor > out there. I want as large text as possible.
