You will be able to boot the system provided that your problem is in the area where you define systems to boot. This will not save the file, but you can do that after you boot. -- Chris I Confession is good for the soul only in the sense that a tweed coat is good for dandruff. -- Peter de Vries pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I've never tried to work in grub's limited environment. I just pull out the handy livecd, boot it, and use that much more robust environment to make changes. It's quite easy and won't take much longer. -rex -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
