Do you not know where is /boot? > My system went down recently - I *think* because one of the three(!) hard drives was failing. And I definitely needed to read the drives to see what partitions I had on each one.... So I intalled a new system on a spare drive, then added each old drive in turn and checked it with fdisk, Antivir (just in case) and fsck. I had to mount it to use Antivir, using the partition names I got from reading fdisk. All as su to root, of course. cr - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
