Hi John: Yes, grub installed on hdc with the first partition as boot. I get the menu but when I select the FC3 .667 kernal it gives me a file not found error and to press any key which returns me to the menu. I have tried editing the menu with various combinations as well as trying to re-install grub. I'll give your CD a try in a few min. Dave
