Is it before the drive with FC-6? The one that boots? Floppy, CD, HD, ?? And where did you tell Anaconda to but the Grub starter code? Which might be your problem. The Grub that is in the MBR on the first bootablr device is pointed at the file on the HD. The menu.lst is just that a menu that points to various drives/sectors. Is this your first multi-boot install? That is what you are trying to do correct? It is not difficult but hmm.. different. ;-) - -- David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) iD8DBQFHZD9+AO0wNI1X4QERAjoMAJsHGIOssI9GWLseDcGl5Z12zujarQCfZWpp yS/FCjIka9GmeFDxDixYi1U= =iu25 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
