[Nottingham] Re-installing GRUB

[malcolm_read]

I use Lilo not Grub.
With Lilo, you just enter "lilo" command. This re-reads /etc/lilo.conf &
writes the relevant boot loader to the MBR.
Given Grub is a replacement for Lilo, (& presumably better) one would hope
similar feature exists.

You can get lots of info on grub if you issue "info grub" command from
console. You can read it yourself.

Regards, Malcolm

All,

I re-installed Win98 over the weekend (long story to do with W2K and ADSL
and France Telecoms stupidity) and of course it overwrote Grub. Funny W2K
French didn't. Anyway, the box dual boots but I can only boot with the
floppy I created during the install.

Is there some way to re-install Grub into the mbr without having to do a
full install again? I have a standard RH7.2 with KDE in the Linux
partitions.

Rgs,

Matt

P.S. Really sorry to hear about the Bell. When I was at Uni in Nottingham
it was the best place for Theakstons and some good music (jazz and/or
blues) to start off the evening. Has the Trip still got the dusty model
ship up?
