Maybe it's time to dispense with the script (menu.lst/grub.conf). When the Grub menu appears, exit to the grub> prompt and execute the individual commands [help,find,root,kernel,initrd,boot,reboot] as you're inclined to see messages without proceeding to another step until you're ready.
I don't understand how that would help. It seems to me that that would leave me with even less documentation. I installed openSUSE just to see if I could. I could, but not without problems. The first one was that it hung after its automatic reboot. Pressing reset got the job done. The other is that it took me a while to discover that to change my boot options I needed to edit menu.lst , not grub.conf . I was really panicking for a while. Still no go on F16 or F17. -- Michael hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "On Monday, I'm gonna have to tell my kindergarten class, whom I teach not to run with scissors, that my fiance ran me through with a broadsword." -- Lily -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
