bvc Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 It's just finding the fat....just comment (#) it out of /boot/grub/menu.lst. Oh, and with grub, there's no command the you have to issue after you edit the config file....grub rocks! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted September 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 ok, doesn't matter I guess. So far I'm really liking my redhat system. Maybe its just that the few problems I was having have now been fixed. bvc & cybrjackal got the boot problem fixed for me, and I figured out installing, setting up, and using apt-get. Also I've been in a terminal alot more over the last couple of days than in a gui. Pretty soon I'll be doing everything at CL thanks again for fixing the boot problem.

jlc Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 ah, good question. I know in red hat if it see's winxp/2k it will call it DOS. I would imagine the same for win9x too. as far as seeing the vfat, I don' t know why it would do that??? You can just remove the line from your grub.conf file if you don't want to see it when you boot up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted September 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 At the grub selection screen where it asks me Linux or DOS, if I chose DOS I wonder what would happen ? I don't want to try it without knowing the consequences. Guess I'll just remove the line from grub.conf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 The worst thing that can happen is nothing will boot. You can alway's ctrl+alt+del reboot and chooe Linux again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
