And, OTOH, it can install itself to other devices (but only the stage1, stage 1.5 and/or stage 2 have to be already present on the target device). So you can take a grub-enabled CD, boot it and restore your system's hosed boot loader (say you just installed Windows or similar) from the grub prompt. Also, I prefer grub's "savedefault" features to the "-R" switch for lilo (e.g. test boots w/ new kernels -- don't forget the "panic=..." kernel parameter then!). -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
