fussy fussy fussy ;)
from a 'command line' type 'mc' and navigate to /boot/grub,
.. ^^^^^^^^^^^^
scroll to 'menu.lst'. Edit <F4> the line ....(here's mine):
kernel (hd1,4)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb6 hdc=ide-scsi
just put in mem=(the amount of ram I've got left after buyin
a bogus 'onboard video' motherboard ;)... where mine says
'hdc=...', or add to it in case you've got a burner too ;) Be sure
to put a space in between multiple args
goin back to the 'command line', type 'whereis grub'. You'll
prob'ly get that the answer is ' /usr/sbin/grub ' So from a
'command line', run grub. Sort'a kind'a like you'd rerun 'lilo'
after editin that .conf :) Reboot, or from a 'command line' run
'info grub' to see if i'm full of sh!+ ;->
seriously, there's a lot (maybe too much) in 'info grub'. I just
started usin grub, and had to do just a little reading to figure
out how to add the 'ide-scsi' line to get my burner goin.
Difference is I'm not stuck on a 'command line' ;->>>>>>>>>>
