Floris, I have also found it advantageous to create a grub boot floppy. You can then select among kernels or fiddle with the bootloader configuration actually in the course of a boot.
If you do have a running system, then simply have root visit grub's working directory and copy the two stage files over to an unmounted floppy: # dd if=stage1 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1 # dd if=stage2 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1 Then mount the floppy and copy splash.xpm.gz to it, create a file named grub.conf and a symlink to it from menu.lst. And then set up the grub.conf file as per the manual. Haines Brown -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
