Comment 6 for bug 294840

Well, "standard widgets" in the sense of following a common GUI idiom; the implementation's a whole 'nuther matter! Even now, there's the little X's that appear next to selected options in the F6*2 menu, so it would be an elaboration of that. (A unified menu, on the other hand, does seem a tad overambitious.)

But having the F6*2 menu come up with a single F6 keypress is a good move, IMHO. The menu is certainly going to be more useful than the kernel command line to most users.

(I'd furthermore posit that the command line hurts more than it helps in the majority of cases. The way that it doesn't change when you select different menu options, and yet /proc/cmdline does reflect the selected menu options, is very confusing. [E.g. selecting a command-line install doesn't visibly change the file= parameter to .../cli.seed.] Even if I needed to put in some obscure kernel parameter, I couldn't be exactly sure of how the command line will be interpreted if the kernel gets passed something different from what I see in the boot screen.)
