There is still one feature missing: the ability to boot to a CD. I would love to see this as an option in a GRUB boot menu.

The nice part about it is that you can install it on a floppy first, to try it out.

But it would be nice indeed if GRUB had that option (no need to quickly push F12 to get that BIOS menu while you don't see anything because the monitor hasn't yet woken up from its slumber...).
