If you'd like to install it from the grub prompt, you can run: root (hd0,0) setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --prefix=/boot/grub (hd0) ..and it should take care of'ya. -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
