I'm not sure on Ubuntu but for Fedora there is a rescue cd that has a grub-install function that detects the kernels installed and re-installs grub. There is probably something the same on the Ubuntu CD, though I would caution against using a
6.10 on a 7.04 installation as versions may have changed. Ubuntu users will be more insightful however.<br><br>HTH<br>Chris<br><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><a href="http://www.chruz.com">http://www.chruz.com</a>
