Since you installed the package, the only thing that is left to do is to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, in a very simple and intuitive way: search for "memtest86+" inside this file, you should find something like: ## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option ## e.g. memtest86=true ## memtest86=false # memtest86=true make sure its "true" and that it remains commented. This will instruct update-grub (which you should run as the next step) to include memtest86 in the grub loader. If everything goes well, you should see the output of the update-grub command similar to: Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub Testing for an existing GRUB menu.list file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ... Found kernel: /vmlinuz-2.6.15-22062006 Found kernel: /vmlinuz-2.6.15-1-amd64-generic Found kernel: /memtest86+.bin Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done Good luck, Dimitris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
