Okay, the grub-shell uses 'root' to tell grub on which partition to find it's stage-files... Then in /boot/grub/menu.lst, the term is used first to tell grub on which partition to find the kernel, then again on the kernel-line to define the partition on which the linux-filesystem is rooted (at '/' aka 'root')... All of which must be done as the root-user... Is that five or only four? I hope i wasn't exaggerating & slandering grub's good name. Apologies if the above expansion is confusing - then again, that's kinda the point, innit? :) taipan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
