A million thanks Ted ! I was pretty sure I had to RTFM but had no idea where to start. The FAQ below was a good starting point. As the FAQ is about 3.5 years old I will grab a fresh version of GRUB and its docs and learn whatever gory details I can. But right now before reading, my general idea of what to do next looks like: 1. grub-install '(fd0)' 2. copy grub.conf over from /boot [/dev/hda7] to the floppy 3. make whatever changes are needed to grub.conf on the floppy 4. be sure that I can boot FC1 from floppy grub 5. dd if=/dev/hda of=hda_MBR.BKP count=1 bs=512 *** backing up MBR 6. sfdisk -d /dev/hda > hda_partition_table.BKP *** backing up partition table 7. grub-install /dev/hda7 [not 100% sure yet if this is the right way of doing it - comments welcome]. I'd rather install grub on hda7, rather than on hda for a couple of reasons: 6. I have GAG boot manager presently installed on hda . GAG on MBR has served me well on my previous box (Win2K + FC1), where it played nicely alongside with GRUB which was on /boot at /dev/hda7 ; 7. Keeping grub on the /boot partition will ease things a bit for a later upgrade of this dual-boot to triple-boot (i.e. , adding FC3 and hooking it to the same /boot and same grub without disturbing the MBR, GAG or Windoze (at least that's my dearest hope . . .) .
