Not sure if this would help (examples might change according to your configuration): aptitude install grub (apt-get instead of aptitude is you don't use aptitude) grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/hda update-grub If your /boot corresponds to a different partition than /, then you might: grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/hda cd /boot ln -s . boot grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/hda update-grub You can consult: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-using-grub_002dinstall.html#Installing-GRUB-using-grub_002dinstall Or: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html Also if you want grub2 instead of grub-legacy, then if grub-pc is present, then install it and if not, then install grub2 (under unstable it's grub-pc)... -- Javier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
