Hi everybody,

I have several large disks filled with experiments and multiboots. I need to make changes to the current /boot/grub/grub.cfg but I have no idea which one I'm using or which one of the systems' grub config tools were used so I don't dare just grab any old one and use it

I've searched through seven VolumeGroups full of LogicalVolumes and can't seem to find the one I'm using. Also combed through partitions that are not part of LVM.

Does the boot process leave any footprints behind telling where it booted from?

Rapidly losing what little is left of my mind...

TIA,
Mike Wright
Don't know if you have legacy grub or not. With legacy grub, you can change the names in menu.lst--put a 1 or 2 or whatever after the description, and when you start up, the display will let you choose which is which. Your display at boot time will look like:

Fedora 1
Fedora 2
Fedora 3
Windows
Mint

and so on.
