Isn't that fairly obvious? :) Your copy of grubs menu.lst has been changed, and its been changed by something other then the packaging system. > > What should I do now, please?

If you want to see how they differ, use "show a side-by-side difference between the versions" kk > > Dave W > > -- Karl Goetz, (Kamping_Kaiser / VK5FOSS) Debian user / gNewSense contributor http://www.kgoetz.id.au No, I won't join your social networking group -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
