This is a list of the menu-item numbers we have currently assigned. If you need a number, don't just grab one, ask on debian-boot@lists.debian.org first. Please do not allocate numbers with too high a granularity. If you have two packages, A and B, and A depends on B, then main-menu will always put A after B. There is no need to assign different numbers to the two; one number will do and will be more flexible, and help avoid BASIC line number disease. In other words, having a bunch of menu items with the same number is a feature, not a bug. Use different menu items only to break ties and do gross positioning in the menu. (These numbers have been multiplied by 100 from what they were before to give us more space.) 0 -> 1000 Reserved 1000 -> 3000 Preparation and installer setup 1000 localechooser (!s390) 1100 load-media 1200 kbd-chooser 1300 iso-scan cdrom-detect 1400 file-preseed 1600 load-iso load-cdrom 1700 ethdetect ppp-udeb s390-netdevice (s390) 1800 netcfg netcfg-static 1900 auto-install 2100 network-preseed network-console 2110 localechooser (s390) 2200 ai-choosers clock-setup 2300 choose-mirror download-installer 2500 lowmem 3000 -> 4000 Disk detection & etc 3500 disk-detect (!s390) 3700 s390-dasd (s390) 3900 rescue-mode 4000 -> 5000 Disk preparation 4200 partman (as default partitioner) 4300 partitioner (mips) 4400 lvmcfg (mips) 4400 partman (mips) 4500 partconf (mips) 4500 mdcfg (mips) 4700 evms 6000 -> 8000 Base installation and completion of install 6500 base-installer 6900 user-setup 7000 apt-setup pkgsel 7300 palo-installer (hppa) yaboot-installer (powerpc/powermac_newworld, powerpc/chrp*) quik-installer (powerpc/powermac_oldworld) zipl-installer (s390) arcboot-installer (mips) silo-installer (sparc) vmelilo-installer (m68k/vme*) flash-kernel-installer (armel) 7400 grub-installer (x86, powerpc/chrp_pegasos) 7500 lilo-installer (x86) 7600 elilo-installer (ia64, x86) 7700 nobootloader (all) 7800 finish-install 8000 -> 9000 Reserved 90000 -> \infty Neverdefault 93000 cdebconf-priority 94000 cdrom-checker 94000 baseconfig-udeb 95000 di-utils-shell 96000 eject-udeb 99999 dummy menu item for components that should be listed in anna, but not in the main menu
