[sclug] Grub bootloader issue

Hi people,

Nothing like those anywhere.


Actually my 'normal' distro is Mandrake, which uses lilo. On a spare 
partition I installed DeMuDi (I think that means Definitive Music 
Distro), a debian based music-studio distro, and that placed the present 
Grub bootloader over my old Lilo. It works okay, but curiously I can't 
find any grub config stuff on the DeMuDi side of things  - not a 
sausage.  I presume if boot into Mandrake, log in as root and then mount 
the Demundi filesystem (ie mount /dev/hda8 /mnt/demundi) I will have 
root permissions for any files in the DeMuDi filesystem? (In other 
words, root is root is root across distros?)  If so, I can see hordes of 
files but nothing grub-like at all.

I suppose I could always restore the Mandrake Lilo bootlooader, but I'd 
like to get to the bottom of this, if anyone can help.

Neil.
