Why could you not use pb to install bootmenu?

To All:

I am looking for input on console tools, whats not working what needs to be fixed, don't like it all, what do you want in its place. The problem with install-tools is that you may or may bot need to reboot, but you really always should. If the partitions are staying the exact same size, it usually works, if the partitions are changing you need a reboot. In pbeasy I force a reboot after partitioning every time. I thought pbeasy was very simple and clear, the pb script is much more involved and complicated, and does many more things. I have not heard anyone say if they are using the backup/restore features, or the pb script at all.

Anyway, I NEED YOUR INPUT! VALID SOLID REAL INFORMATION ON HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER....
