my old PC running Red Hat 7.2 with the motherboard-limited max of 256MB of memory. Sigh. Oh, and I *still* haven't found where dpkg is storing the out-of-date info that the root file system is hda6. Every time it alters menu.lst I have to manually revert to the backup and add the new entries by hand. Installing grub to hda7 hasn't affected that. luke -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
