Airplane option in grub

[Ulrik Mikaelsson]

Interesting point, I think this is the general policy in aircraft
carriers in Sweden.

For instance, my Sony Ericsson K608i has a built-in MP3-player. It
also features a mode that allows startup in non-transmitting mode to
use the MP3-player without powering on any RF-devices.

I'd say it's a good idea. It may also be used in other radio-free
areas such as hospitals and similar.

It should be fairly simple to implement for anyone familiar with
debian packaging. So Bart, why don't you simply go ahead and create
some packages that defines some cmdline-options and configures grub
accordingly?

Hint: look at /etc/networks/interfaces, and /proc/cmdline. Should be a
good place to start.

Good initiative
