As someone else pointed out, "apt-get install grub" will install the
grub package. To install it in the mbr, your run "grub-install /dev/hda"
(assuming you are installing it on /dev/hda). However, once you do this,
when you go to reboot, you'll simply be presented with a prompt that
says: "grub>".

Changing LILO for G
Hi folks,
My Debian 3.0 box, newly installed, is running LILO and Ext3. Can I use
'dselect' to change the bootload to GRUB and FS to Reiser without making
another clean installation. OR is there any other way?.
Kindly advise. Thanks in advance.
Merry X'mas and B.R.

As far as I know there is no limit to the number of files you can have
in a directory but access to

Maybe a proper way of doing is to fill the file with zeroes from
/dev/zero before removing.

Nope. It's pretty much gone forever.
Will
Under the FAT16 system when a file is deleted, it's only removed from the
FAT. Though the file appears gone, it still remains on the drive.
When something is removed on a Linux box using the rm command, is the file
gone for good or is it just removed from view while it remains on the disk?
