Is the grub in woody the 'gnu grub' or is it 'the grub off which gnu grub is
based'? (Just making sure I'm reading the right online comments/info/docs)
or... another way to look at it... does anyone know a way to pack up a set
of info docs so that it could be read on a windows box? (that way I cou

to boot (promise ultra card, 60g hd) I just wanna doublecheck one thing

not a lilo problem and it's somewhere further up in the pipeline?

Hmm my bios has a place to choose booting from scsi first instead of
ide but even when I choose that there are no boot lineup
(A,Cdrom,C; A,C; and such) choices that have 'scsi' in them... most of the

Next obstacle is there a way to use lilo to boot from /dev/hde when

stable distribution.
I don't upgrade distros very often, is there documentation I could be
pointed to to read on what steps I should take? And is there
