However, I think the point of my quick description of the boot loading process was to show responders to my original question that the grub problem I had was a little deeper and more complex than the normal grub screw-up. So I am not too concerned about that small inaccuracy; most people who actually tried to help me caught the point. -- Regards Bill; Fedora 9, Gnome 2.22.2 Evo.2.22.2, Emacs 22.2.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
