<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is still tinkering going on in the background
re lug.org. As they mostly do things at the weekends it tends to get
stretched out a bit. You are not alone I fear, I seem to have missed a few
as well.</FONT></DIV>

Andrew<BR><BR>I am only getting HLUG emails by collecting them from the web
site and they are delayed<BR><BR>Hope you have had good answers by
now<BR><BR>"Grub is generally more flexible and a lot more forgiving of system
errors. For example, LiLO generally requires that an alternate boot disk is
used if the kernel configuration renders the system unbootable Grub allows
"on-the-fly" modification of kernel location, boot parameters, kernel to boot,
etc.. "<BR><BR>I found the next bit WARNING IT IS FROM SUSE
HELP<BR><BR>"To enter changed boot options permanently and pass them to the
kernel, open the file menu.lst as the user root and append the respective
kernel parameters to the existing line, separated by spaces: <BR><BR>title
linux <BR> kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz
root=/dev/hda3 additional parameter<BR>
initrd (hd0,0)/initrd<BR><BR>GRUB automatically adopts the new parameters the
next time the system is
booted"<BR><BR>***********************************************************<BR>/etc/grub.conf
<BR>contains the parameters and options the command grub<B> </B>needs for
installing the boot loader correctly: <BR>root (hd0,4)
<BR> install /grub/stage1 d (hd0)
/grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd0,4)/grub/menu.lst
<BR> quit<BR><BR>Meaning of the individual
entries:<BR>root (hd0,4)<BR>This command tells GRUB to apply the following
commands to the first logical partition of the first hard disk (the location
of the boot files). <BR>install <parameter><BR>The command grub<B>
</B>should be run with the parameter install. <BR>stage1 of the boot loader
should be installed in the MBR of the first hard disk (/grub/stage1 d (hd0)).
<BR>stage2 should be loaded to the memory address 0x8000 (/grub/stage2
0x8000). <BR>The last entry ((hd0,4)/grub/menu.lst) tells GRUB where to look
for the menu file. <BR><BR>Not sure this is what you need but hope it
helps<BR><BR>Regards,
