For what its worth the DeadRat manuals state the reason they use a /boot partition is so if you have file corruption on / you can still have pure kernel to boot and fix things. I ha a Dell Inspiron 11. It had this really nice feature of a one time boot option, you hit f12 at start up and you get a menu of boot options. I installed Fedora core w/Grubb on mbr now not only wont this feature work (which is not surprising) but Grubb kicks in before I can boot a cd or dvd no matter what the bios boot order is set to. To boot from cd I have to dissable boot from hd in bios. Is there a HOWTO to create a boot from cd munu option ror Grubb like the boot from floppy option on Mandrake's LILO setup? _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
