I have *one* floppy disk with grub on it; I can use it to boot any Windows machine, any Linux machine, BSD machines, or OS/2 machines. You can't do that with lilo. I use kernel-package to build kernels. When I install or remove one of my kernels, update-grub is run to update my grub boot menu. I'm not limited to two kernels as I would be with lilo. > Any tips on using grub? Go here for an excellent tutorial on using grub: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=4622 After you have grub installed on your hard drive and have made a grub boot floppy, run "update-grub" to generate a grub boot menu file. Read it carefully. Follow the instructions to customize it. Then run update-grub again. Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

"redo the harddrive" i hope you dont mean reinstall? however much you fsck the bootsector you should still be able to boot from a floppy and sort it? > Any tips on using grub? RTM make sure you have the relevant stage 1,1.5,2 vim /etc/boot/grub/menu.1st (not menu.lst as i thought it was when trying to seup grub!) and set how you like. if grub-install doesnt work, use setup from the grub shell. > Key deciding factor for me is no dependancy on an installed OS that is > normally under use. _commander installs in its own 40meg partition at > the front of the disk. yeah, you could stick a grub floppy in a windows box and boot windows from it... wouldnt be much point but it would work. hugh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

GRUB question - book2
"book2" so the other thread isn't hijacked. What are the pros/cons of usin Grub vs Lilo? Lilo vs Grub? I have had great success with SystemCommander+PartitionCommander (not free and not expensive). Tried using lilo the other day with no issues. Tried switching over to grub with apt-get install grub and had to redo the harddrive. Any tips on using grub? Key deciding factor for me is no dependancy on an installed OS that is normally under use. _commander installs in its own 40meg partition at the front of the disk. -- = = Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the = = right things.- Peter Drucker= =___= = http://www.sun.com/service/sunps/jdc/javacenter.pdf = = www.sun.com | www.javasoft.com | http://wwws.sun.com/sunone = = -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
