 edit Grub? Debian Etch I installed a wrong of Debian-GNU/linux, now my system boots up and I see something like this: Debian-GNU/Linux, kernel 26.18-4-k7 Debian-GNU/Linux, kernel 26.18-4-686 Debian-GNU/Linux, kernel 26.18-4-686 single user Debian-GNU/Linux, kernel 26.18-4-server I only need the "Debian-GNU/Linux, kernel 26.18-4-686" part. I tried to edit Grub and remove the opther options. That works perfect, slight problem is however I cannot see how to make such a selection "saved". How do I restore it to only, or at least default "Debian-GNU/Linux, kernel 26.18-4-686" Edmund      |

Remember, zero is the first item and one the second, so forth. I'll show you part of mine, but you don't have to show me yours: default 0 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-4-686 root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-686 root=/dev/sda3 ro vga=791 initrd /initrd.img-2.6.18-4-686 savedefault title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-4-686 (single-user mode) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-686 root=/dev/sda3 ro single vga=791 initrd /initrd.img-2.6.18-4-686 savedefault You'll want to maintain a single-user mode for a time if something does go very wrong - as when you goof and screw the system while being root. -- sk8r-365 http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ |
