I would like to see a very clear description of how to restore Grub 
using the install disc to your current installation. Also, clear 
instructions on how to boot into your current system. I always forget 
what the correct command is to do that. Also, what about being able to 
press a key to skip over a process starting. For example -- let's say 
you do not have your network connected but have to wait until it fails 
at startup. Being able to press a key to skip this from running would 
save time.
