Harris > webid@xxxxxxxxxx I open the terminal, logged in as root, typed "chmod +w /etc/grub.conf" and it still gives me a permission denied message. I did open grub.conf with vi, though. "Default=1" Before I go ahead and change anything, I want to be absolutely sure I'm doing the right thing. If I set the default to 0, will it boot with kernel 2.6.8 by default (instead of 2.6.5 being the default)? Or do I need to set the default to something else to get 2.6.8 to be the default kernel? ===== --joshua m. neff www.goblin-cartoons.com _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
