Hello :-) I work hard right now on grub :-). so two subjects: * there is a new flavor of grub, now what one is used on 10.1 (0.9... or 1.9...)? * there is a problem with grub (old flavor, don't know for the new), when the MBR is erased for some reason (windows install, for example), grub don't works anymore. Yast have an option to correct this, but it's very hard to find (under repair) - of course installation yast, given your linux don't boot no more :-(. however it's often possible to boot the linux install, for example with a grub boot disk. but then it's not clear how to fix grub. needs launching yast and founding the option to write back the MBR. could it be possible to write with yast, when writing the initial grub configuration a small script ("grub-mbr"?) to rewrite the mbr without lauching yast? If this could be run from a rescue cd, it would be even better (you know, like "lilo", or chroot /mnt lilo) Mandrake used to have such thing right from the install cd boot menu... thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos
