I suppose that by the time the upgrade gets to the first reboot, what is on the HD isn't really v10.2 anymore. Why are you saying this? What difficulty is known about v10.3 and the video subsystem on the Intel 915G MB? I now know, by the way, why the upgrade moved GRUBB. It is true that, as I said, I was never asked about the location of the loader. As everyone here except me knows, that question is never asked. One has to know to CHANGE the boot arrangements. If one has been around the block sufficiently, it is probably automatic to do that change. That may be adequate for a new installation, but it seems very clear to me that, in the case of an _UPGRADE_, the default ought to be to leave it the loader where it already is; I don't think that logic can be challenged. I am not sure where it has put the loader. If it is now in the MBR (which I think is the default for new installations), I'll make a new MBR. I'll move GRUBB back to where I want it. All this could not have happened at a worse time for me. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel "Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city." -- George Burns -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
