---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: spen <renas13@yahoo.com> Date: 06-Dec-2005 16:16 Subject: Re: DualBoot To: Martin Tournoy <carpetsmoker@gmail.com> Whatever works for you, the downside of this is that the config file is saved on the filesystem, not the MBR, so if you do the right thing and remove windows from your PC then you'll have to get another bootmanager anyway.... hadn't thought of that, that's a drawback.. but only in case you remove windows and install some other os, am I right? I had trouble with the dual boot OS before editing the windows boot.ini I have 2 partitions on my laptop --on the first i've installed fbsd WITH the bootMNG (grub) and on the second partition i post-installed winXP. winXP overwrote the mbr and grub did not work. So when the machine booted only winXP started and I had no option to log to my fbsd..that's why i edited the boot.ini To use grub now should I edit the conf file of grub? thank you for the suggestion --spen-- ________________________________ Yahoo!
