right there.

First, you cannot just use any image, it needs to be in the correct format. Make sure you don't just rename myfile to myfile.xpm.gz ! With respect to hdX,Y, that depends on your partition layout. It really depends where your grub sits in the partitions (nothing to do with MBR). In my case, /boot is /dev/hda6, so in grub-speak it would be hd0,5. This is simply where grub and menu.lst are located. HTH, Uwe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
