Is there a utility I can use to see what's actually there? Do I need to "syslinux" the disk? Also, for amusement, I used the DVD to "Upgrade an existing installation". This read my hard drive, chugged around for a few seconds (presumably deciding that everything was up-to-date), asked me to update my boot loader (I did) and then exited. No change in the situation. Should I do this again, but create a new bootloader? -Don -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
