That would depend on what you asked it to do. Most distros I have experience with will let you install grub wherever you wish, or not at all. Where it installs depends on which option you choose. If it says /dev/hda that means the MBR of the hard drive. If it says /dev/hdax, where x is a partition number, in your case 3. This would install grub on that partition, not the MBR of the hard drive. I do not install grub from new installs, just add a new entry to /boot/grub/menu.lst on your main install, hda5. That way if the new trial install doesn't work out, reformating doesn't wipe out the menu for your bootloader. Hope that isn't too much rambling. :-) DAN -- Linux archlinux 2.6.15DANSARCH #1 PREEMPT Wed Jan 25 17:07:26 EST 2006 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
