I know it works, because it's what I usually do, but it is a real nuisance (as you said). I'm thinking about writing a shell script that changes the "default" value in menu.lst then does a "shutdown -fr now". Another shell script wout execute on startup that would change the default back. Sounds simple enough, but I often have bootloaders nested 2-deep (e.g. 1 in /dev/hda, and others in /dev/hda5, /dev/hda6, /dev/hda7, etc). What I probably need to do is to create a single, universally-used "grub" partition that contains nothing but a single set of grub files that will be used by all of my Linux installations. -- Grant Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
