I have only one complaint: the makeactive command should not have been included in the information for booting Windows. My MBR is the default Windows MBR which boots from the active partition. Grub is installed on my /boot partition which is active (bootable). I boot Windows from grub and don't want this to change my active partition. This would prevent me from seeing grub again when I boot. d-i should probably never put makeactive here, but it definitely shouldn't if grub was not installed as the MBR. (If it was installed as the MBR, then makeactive has no effect anyway.) Here's the menu.lst information generated by d-i. It's impressive that it found my Red Hat 9 partition. # This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian # ones. title Other operating systems: root # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS # on /dev/hda1 title Windows NT/2000/XP root (hd0,0) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing # linux installation on /dev/hda5. title Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike) (on /dev/hda5) root (hd0,4) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-20.9.XFS1.3.1.img savedefault boot # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing # linux installation on /dev/hda5. title Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike) (on /dev/hda5) root (hd0,4) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-20.9.XFS1.3.1smp.img savedefault boot -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
