grub

[Bruce Mobarry <mobarry@moscow.com>]

Hi Jason,

Sorry I took so long to get back to you. Attached is my menu for dual
booting windows and debian. This is from my work machine, which uses
MS-windows 98 and Debian sid. Note the stanza telling linux where the
initrd file is located; you only need this line if you have an initrd
(initial root directory), which the new premade 2.4 kernels from
Debian use (I don't use an initrd on my self-compiled 2.4.17 kernel on
my home machine, which runs a mostly stock Libranet 1.91.) I've been
very happy with grub, and install it on all of the machines I maintain
at work, including the department server.
