Decided to set up a FC6/Ubuntu dual boot. box. The Ubuntu part did not load properly can't get into it enough to edit the sudo or add remove any users, no problem just ignore it. The catch is the Ubuntu parts are the default boot. when I go to the fedora grub.conf or menu.lst files there is no mention Ubuntu so editing the file will not do any good. What file needs to be edited to boot from the FC 6 grub.conf file. As I plan to do a fresh install of Fedora 7 in a few days it probably does not matter in the long run but I would like to know which file should be edired to get back to the original FC6 boot configuration. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
Hi Norm! I wish I had more time to make this easy, but alas. Basic procedure I would follow: 0. Make a copy of your Master Boot Record and associated sector (one with MBR only, one with MBR and its assocated secotor). For info google "dd" and "linux master boot record". The main purpose of the MBR is to act as a loader for grub stage 1. 1. Understand where the grub you want to load is: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Naming-convention 2. Info google "grub" and check out the "grub-install" command. You may need to use the grub shell to actually make the cange you want/need. 3. Apply "grub-install" or appropriate commands to update the MBR to point to the grub you wish to load. 4. Boot and hopefully be happy. If not, at least you have a way to re-establish your MBR. Good Hunting! Tod
