Ah, that is useful. But only if you are installing from scratch. More often, one is merely upgrading a kernel, or worse, as in my case, replacing grub after it was removed by an errant aptitude kernel install. So I suppose we should be asking for the same capabilities that the debian installer has to be added to update-grub. -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
