I do have a question about the method you describe for making a permanent fix. You describe editing the line that begins # defoptions= . . . . I thought that lines beginning with a "#" are comment lines and aren't read by the system -- if that's true, how can editing it cause anything to happen, even if I then run "upgrade-grub" ? Jerry
