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.
Ubuntu uses the /boot/grub/menu.lst file as the grub config. On Fedora
boxes, usually menu.lst is a symlink to grub.conf, but installing
Ubuntu on top of Fedora may change that. I dunno, I've never done it.

I had set up a dual box before with the previous version of Ubuntu, then
I was able to edit things so that FC is the default boot. This time
even removing the Ubuntu partition still does nor resolve the problem.
The Fedora install process allows control over the boot configuration
and either I missed it or the control does not exist in Ubuntu. I can
live with the problem for a couple of weeks or so until I install Fedora
7 but I would like to be able to find the file that needs to be edited
to send the boot process to the fedora gtub.conf file.
