I don't the answer to your question, but if you don't get one you might just go ahead and reinstall grub to be sure it is there. I don't know the command for that, but 'apropros grub' should lead you to the manpage that would help. I vaguely remember something called 'grub-install' or similar. I don't have it on this machine; so I can't check. Anita -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
