[newbie] How to configure GRUB menu?

2001-06-29 Thread Viboon Chaojirapant
Hi All, I would like to configure GRUB's bootup menu so that it will pause more than 3 sec before Linux is loaded. In Mandrake 7.2, I could easily do that by fiddling with menu.lst file in the /boot/grub directory. HOWEVER, I am currently running Mandrake 8.0 and menu.lst is NOT in /boot/grub

Hi Linux users, I finally took the plunge into v8.0 yesterday evening (upgraded from v7.2). However, after the smooth installation, I almost got a heart attack when LILO showed L 02 02 02 02 02 02 02. to infinity. Has anyone else got this problem? I assume not, since I didn't find any L 02

Hi fellow Linux users, How do I retain GRUB after re-installing Windows? It seems that everytime I re-install or upgrade Windows, it will overwrite my MBR and I will lose GRUB. My solution currently is to re-install Linux again so that it will install GRUB into MBR. My current configuration is

Hi Skye, Check out the Linux on Laptops page at: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/ I have counted 11 links to successful install of Linux (not necessary Mandrake though) on the Picturebook. Try to click out some of these pages and see whether you can find any clues. I think

Hi Ralph, I think the easiest way for you to get up to date in the Linux world is to reinstall Linux Mandrake with the most current release (version 7.2). For non-techie, version 7.2 makes A LOT of difference, almost like day and night. I upgraded from 7.0 to 7.2 and I could tell a huge

Hi, If I am not wrong, the rc.d directory and its subfolders are used during initializing (startup) and terminating (shutdown) of the Linux system. The book "Running Linux" has a small section on this. Cheers, Viboon -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL

Hi Edison, I am in the same situation as you. LILO seems to refuse to 'die' even when I use fdisk /mbr :(. Now it boots up with a 'LIL-' and hangs the system. I read somewhere on this mailing list that LILO is more used for dual booting from same HD, not from different HDs. I'm not sure
