Bug#298110: grub: Custom title in menu.lst

[Free Ekanayaka]

Package: grub
Version: 0.95+cvs20040624-13
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
File: /sbin/update-grub

Hi,

it would be nice to be able to set a custom title for the menu.list entries.

The patch below lets override the variable "title" (and possibly other
ones) via /etc/default/grub.

Cheers,

Free
