Ladies and Gents,

Need some help, I was praticing loading linux from a floppy and now I have LILO
loading my system, the problem is I want GRUB back. how do I do this without
re-loading Linux and losing all my setting and mail?

Boot into Linux, log in as Root.
Go to /boot/grub, and run ./install.sh
That gets your Grub back.

What do you do if after typing in ./install.sh the command line returns
permission denied? Why would one not have permission as root? Excuse me
for jumping in here, but I had the same problem, and the sys won't let
me change back. Dennis

Dennis, you're trying to execute a text file that doesn't have execute
permission for anyone.  Go there again and, as root, type:

chmod +x install.sh

Then, try again to run the file.

Cheers --- Larry

Hot stuff, that did it, thanks Larry, next boot hopefully without disk.
Thanks again, Dennis M.

When you see an install file with the '.sh' on the end, do 'sh
install.sh' from the command line instead of './install.sh'  Does that
make sense?
