Yes, but A) that will get lost when you update the grub package and B) I
thought you were unable to even get 1280x1024 in grub so keeping the low
resolution shouldn't be much help?
The proper way to do what you've added is to add
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep to /etc/default/grub and re-run
update-grub.

Not sure what you mean by 'no install media' AFAIK, you have to have one of the several modes of install media to proceed. 1. netintall iso: has base system, but needs a repository for the rest of the packages. Minimal system but can stand alone. 2. businesscard iso, has only enough to boot the system and set up the network and configure apt. Needs a mirror or package repo or you can't proceed. 3. Cd's and DVD's with a full desktop environment . All the install media have 'rescue' mode included. If what yo say is true, grab one of the small iso's just for the rescue mode. ps: There is another, PXE, which I am not familiar with, I think it can be used to install without local media. -- Peace, Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Trouble configuring GRUB to dual boot Win2k
The problem is win2k is on third ide disk. hd0 is 160gig ide with debian hd1 is DVD-RW hd2 is 60gig ide with Win2k on hdc1 mdk 9.0 hdc6. hd3 is CD-RW I've put together the following Grub statments from reading Grub Docs and tried them in menu.lst but it didn't work... Can anyone give me a little help? I'd settle for a 'good howto' url as long as it plainly addresses the issue of doe$ booting from any drive OTHER than the first disk... title Win2k map (hd0) (hd2) map (hd2) (hd0) unhide (hd0,0) hide (hd0,1) rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 makeactive boot btw: I've tried various other forms of this like leaving out the hide/unhide etc... and it still doesn't want to boot the Win2k partition..
