Hi,

Sorry I can't find it any more...

How can I extract the built-in menu from grldr, make some modifications, then put it back into grldr?

Thanks

Via any hex-editor. You should search in the very end of GRLDR file for pxe detect string, then do selection from this string till the end of file, and save selection as 1.txt e.g. Then open it in any Unix text formating aware editor (Windows Notepad is not), I prefer AkelPad, edit, save, and throw file as bytes back by hex-editor.

Thanks voyajer,

In the slightest chance that someone is searching for a *nix solution, for the extraction:

$ strings grldr | sed '1,/pxe detect/{N; d}'

default 0

grubmenu.exe - It is the utility for editing of the built-in menu of grldr

Usage:
grubmenu info grldr
grubmenu print grldr
grubmenu [-r] export grldr menu.lst
grubmenu [-r] [-k] import grldr menu.lst
