But that doesn't really make sense. You can put title First Linux root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 title Second Linux root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1 in your /boot/grub/menu.lst, and not have to do anything when you update kernels (provided a working kernel is always at /vmlinuz on each of your installations). LILO doesn't need to be involved at all. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
