There's actually no relationship between (hd0,0) and default=# The (hd0,0) simply translates to /dev/hda1 in normal linux speak. [hd0 -> hda, 0 -> 1] This simply specifies the partition the OS is on. The default=0 refers to the 1st entry in the boot menu list. Like good computer scientists, they're indexing from zero instead of one. You can have multiple kernels on the same partition and choose from them when you boot. What matters is that each would have a boot menu entry. -- Stuart Jansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED], AIM:StuartMJansen> "Because we frequently suffer from the scourge of information pollution, we find it hard to imagine its even deadlier opposite â information starvation.
