It has whatever effect it does, only that once. He, being used to that, actually liked it that way. It meant he could try something, see if it worked, and only then (having presumably kept good notes) go into grub.conf or menu.lst and put the changes that worked where they *would* take. Seems strange to me; but it sounds as if it might have something to do with the troubles you're describing. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Evangelist Fedora 8; Ubuntu 7.10; CentOS 5.1; Alpine 1.0, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.6 Remember I know little (precious little!) of what I am talking about.
