Hi Israel,

That is a good idea (with a tarball submenu).

In a desktop environment it may not be a problem, but if the menu is
used in text mode, it is more awkward to poweroff.

Just one question: What if there is no tarball? In such cases, it would
be good to have a tarball option activated, maybe to select the tarball
menu automatically, or at least select the entry for it in the main menu.

Best regards
Nio
