Yes, you're right, I'll try to better explain myself. On my PC, besides the swap partition, I have one partition, hda1, for MS Windows and another five for Linux: hda6, had7, hda8, hda9, hda10. At the moment the `boot partition' is hda6 and I want it to be, say, hda9. Sorry if I can'y use the right words. Maybe I should say that the hda6 Grub boot loader is now installed to the master boot record of my hard drive whereas the hda9 boot loader is installed to the /dev/hda9 partition? I want to do so beacuse: now I'm still using Debian Sarge, which is installed in hda6; I want to install Debian Etch in hda9; then when I'm sure that everything is all right with Etch I want to boot from hda9, so hda6 can be formatted again. I hope that now it is clear enough what I want. Thanks for any help Rodolfo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
