[CentOS] Curiosity when installing CentOS 5.1 in addition to W98 WXP
I got half way through an installation of CentOS on a box that has Window$ 98 in the first partition and Window$ XP in the second, where CentOS was designated for partitions 3 (/boot - 128MB) and 4 (/) and had some strange results. During the install, I changed the default OS to boot to Window$ (because I rarely use this machine, but others who don't have a clue use Wxx), but then while the packages were downloading, I left the machine alone. When I came back, it had rebooted to the DVD, so I pulled it out and rebooted again. It came up in the Windows boot selection screen (W98 or WXP), and never stopped at grub. Should I not have set it to go to Windows by default, or is this something different? Thanks. mhr ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Did you tell grub to write to the MBR, or to the partition where you installed CentOS? -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

I looked at that screen and took the default, which, IIRC, was to write to the MBR. (I couldn't see the point of writing to the partition) mhr ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
