ok. i copy-paste the commands you give me anyway in order to avoid exactly such things, but still... pedeli@pedeli-desktop:~$ ls -l /boot/grub/menu.lst ls: cannot access /boot/grub/menu.lst: No such file or directory pedeli@pedeli-desktop:~$ even when i go through the "windows procedure" i see NO menu.lst whatsoever inside the /boot/grub (check foto) i decided to change the title of the email, since it doesn't really have to do with dial-up problems anymore. my basic problem right now is the sound issue: 2.6.28 yes internet, no sound 2.6.31 no internet, yes sound but i guess this is such a big problem, that i will deal with it, when i come back here (sometime in april maybe); maybe things will have been solved by then... today or tomorrow i am leaving from athens (this machine) going back to lesbos island. still the internet issue is solved thanks to you guys. thankyou very much Βασίλης 2010/1/14, Marvin Stodolsky <marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx>: > l in menu.lst is the lower case L, not a number one > $ ls -l /boot/grub/menu.lst > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6103 2009-11-30 22:30 /boot/grub/menu.lst > > 2010/1/13 Βασίλης <piperastaman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: >> Βασίλης, >> 3) after the update i have two "types" of 2.6.31 plus my 2.6.28-16 >> >> (that i installed in order for the slamr to function).
