There is Windows 7 and PCLOS-KDE-64 already on the disk. After a false start with the live disk (first time loaded it hung after KDE initialized, second time OK) and after all this, with Korora installed and grub2 in use, windows boots, and the Linux systems boot. If I had my druthers, I'd rather have original grub to boot everything from--for one thing, the opening screen is prettier in PCLOS--and for another, I know how to modify menu.lst if I need to. I don't know anything about Grub2. --doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers..for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.Greeley -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
