So far so good
Per Robert Hull: Because, as one of Edmund Hillary's contemporaries said "Because it's there"....? Actually, more likely because I don't...
Why not?
In comp.os.linux.misc, on Thu 26 January 2006 01:56, (PeteCresswell) This is where I think that...
Why on earth do you want to do that?
Sounds to me like you have a separateboot parbreastion and you have overwritten one config file with the other.
This *should* be a symlink to menu.lst but I believe that RH decided otherwise :-(
So you are booting the kernel and initrd images for your Fedora installation from the second parbreastion on the first IDE drive (probablydev-hda2)
Definitely. Editing it is trivial.
Why complicate life asking DOS to manipulate a Linux config file?
If you stop using Grub, you will need to install another boot loader in its place (e.g. LILO). IMNSHO Grub is much easier to configure and the fact that you do not have to rerun Grub for every change makes it easier to use than LILO (remember if you make a change to a LILO config, you have to run LILO -v). -- Robert HULL If it's there and you can see it - it's real If it's there and you can't see it - it's transparent If it's not there and you can see it - it's virtual If it's not there and you can't see it - it's gone!
