Sorry about "top-post" I didn't know. Ok the "/boot/grub/menu.lst" is what Alex wants but what is really the correct way of getting access to that? I'm asking because it's a root permission only. How do you guys normally view this root only file? Do you change the permission via the command prompt or should I log in as root and then relog in as the normal user?
Open a shell as yourself, then type:
$ su -
Then provide the root password. You're now root. Do what admin task you need to carry out (such as "cat /boot/grub/menu.lst" or something). Then type Ctrl-D to exit your root session. Your back in your own shell.

Hi again, as Philippe already said, the output of the command "cat /boot/grub/menu.lst" is what I like to see. Just mark it and paste it inline in your next mail. BTW, it's the correct way that the file menu.lst has root permissions, so someone who maybe doesn't exactly know, what he is doing, can't change it easily. Thus he need root permission, and once you are root, you are expected to know what you are doing. ;) Erm, do you know under which circumstances this 2 new kernel entries have appeared?
