Hi everyone, I appreciate all of the great suggestions I've received from this list. It seemed appropriate that I should follow up with the practical solution to my problem,
I never determined what the cause of my boot problem was but I did find a workaround. I created a boot floppy and then copied the boot sector of the boot floppy into the root directory of my XP install as a binary file. By pointing the windows installer at this binary file, it will now "boot" into GRUB which will load my Linux install. I don't know why this wasn't working when trying to copy the boot sector directly from the partition. It may have something to do with the reiser file system but I really am only speculating. As for swap space, I've decided to go with Karsten's suggestion and create multiple swap partitions. This way I can mount the additional swap after adding more RAM (probably next month). Thanks again for all of the great help! Wilson Shealy _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
