I don't think that's very helpful. I would have stuck with stable but had hardware issues which forced me to use unstable. They were kernel related, so maybe I could install stable, upgrade a newer kernel, etc... To answer the original question, I perused the debian bug-list and a thoughtful person posted a relatively thorough procedure on how to recover. It goes something like: boot netinst enter "rescue" chroot to make the mounted partition, i.e. my root partition, / apt-get is now available using my _other_ computer download the old, working version of grub re-install old working version reboot :-) My new plan was to install lilo. Really, if you can use it, you should. It's much easier to understand and use. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
