The Sarge installer (at least the version I used, on DVD) allowes you to choose between Grub and Lilo. Maybe you have to select expert mode to make that choice available. I am also not sure when exactly your Sarge hang - at the Grub screen, or the moment you tried to boot the system from Grub. If the latter is the case, then it is maybe a kernel problem. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
