Grub2, since is was installed from Debian, will probably be using files within the Debian system to accomplish booting, even when you boot Centos. So don't go deleting Debian willy-nilly. You might want to reestablish Centos's boot procedure from CEntos before you do that. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
