Oh
boy, this is gonna be a tough one. :-) I had a look on my box as the root and in
my /boot directory there are no further subdirectories, or any files named
grub or grub.conf for that matter. I did install grub to the MBR, that I
remember now. I don't know where my grub.conf file has gone; the file finder
simply doesn't find it. I did a bit of searching on the web regarding this issue
and one site mentioned an "update-grub" command which is to recreate the grub
config file. It's a real shame though Fedora doesn't have that particular file.
:-)
So the
bottom line here is, I have a system that boots, it has kernel 681 on it
(somewhere!), but I don't have the config file for grub. Perhaps there is a
grub command that recreates this the config file? (Do I first need to create a
folder called "grub" in "/boot"?). Since I did some reading on grub reconfigs,
etc. I would also very much like to create a bootable diskette first -- any help
on this would also be greatly appreciated. :-)
And,
oh BTW, this box is Linux only.
Thanks
again,
Maurice.

Just have a look in:
/boot/grub/grub.conf
and the top kerna showing should boot.
You will need to be root to change this.
Here is mine:
*******************************************************************
boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.681_FC3)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.681_FC3.img
title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.667)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img
************************************************************************
I assume you are using grub.
