Hi Bo and Natey, 'update-grub' will create a menu.lst file for you. It's a nice little script to use. Then I do a 'grub-install /dev/hda' and I'm done. I just did a fresh woody install and tried to remove Lilo. There were still some Kernel and other dependencies. I filed a bug that was fixed in the kernel-package so that new kernels SHOULD depend on lilo|grub but I don't think that kernel-package is being used to create the kernel images yet. I haven't followed it closely. If anyone knows the status more accurately, please correct me. -- -- Grant Bowman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
