Check for the length of /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin and make a backup: "dd if=/dev/sda of=/my-mbr-mackup bs=1024 count=1" (insert correct count according to that mentioned file size). But why not just use grub and bother with syslinux instead? But it boils down to be a matter of taste, I guess... -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
