Felix, Billie has already stated that he is no guru - and all he ever wants now is to simply install a system and *use* it rather than go around fart-arsing around with it.
I suggest that you give Billie a clearly written out menu.lst, for example, with which he can replace his current one but *after* he makes a copy of his current one to fall-back on if things go belly up.
We don't always get what we want. Life gets exponentially complicated as additional operating systems get added. More than one means not simple. More than two means you better get some education about what you're into. There's a limit to how much of what's common sense and/or readily available on the web I will choose to replicate in a mailing list reply, in particular, the need to back up config files before messing with them.
I'm not clairvoyant:
I don't know what's in Billie's *buntu's grub.cfg.
I don't know Billie's partitioning layout.
I don't know that Billie's a he and not a she. How did you figure it out?
My own affairs do need to take precedence over mailing lists on occasion. :-)
Ummm. Felix, why not just ask him to give you these details? :-) . BC -- Aspire to inspire before you expire. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
