When you start your machine and the Grub screen comes up (set to the kernel if more than one ) press the e key. This puts you in edit mode. Use the arrow keys and place the cursor over the line to edit and press e again. This should put you at the end of the line. Now just add the extra info. If you make a mistake you will get some error. Don't panic -- hit escape and start again. After successful booting fix the grub.conf file and all should be ok. No need to run Grub -- jludwig <wralphie@xxxxxxxxxxx>
