Is there any way I can apply the patch mentioned by Long. Attached is the patch but I am unable to find the source code of GRUB 0.97-48.7. I found only its rmp. Can I apply the savedefault.diff patch to the rmp? Need guidance. Thanks. On Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 1:29 PM, Usman Ajmal <[email protected]>wrote: > > Thanks a lot Long for replying.
