If you do not already have an /etc/grub.d/40_custom copy Wayne1's there with sudo cp 40_custom /etc/grub.d/ Your /etc/grub.d/ directory should look very similar to: b...@bob-desktop:~$ ls -l /etc/grub.d/ total 32 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3296 2009-10-23 17:43 00_header -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1154 2009-10-23 17:31 05_debian_theme -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3778 2009-10-23 17:43 10_linux -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 772 2009-10-23 09:24 20_memtest86+ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5467 2009-12-07 14:49 30_os-prober -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 214 2009-10-23 17:43 40_custom -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 483 2009-10-23 17:43 README b...@bob-desktop:~$ The -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root part means that only root can change these files, but anyone in the root group, or anyone else can only read or execute the files. In order to change 40_custom you need to use gksudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom which will prompt you for your password, and then allow you to edit the file. Save the file when you have added the code suggested by Wayne1. In Ubuntu you can use sudo (or gksudo for gui programs) to temporarily become root. I have this set up on my machine -- Ubuntu 9.10 and OpenSolaris 2009.06. I did exactly as Wayne1 suggests, and it works quite well. --Bob _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
