[luau] RH 7.3 on Presario

[Wilson]

Alvin- Just use GRUB and manually edit the grub.conf file so that you can
select WinXP in the GRUB menu. GRUB is much much better then LILO!


You'll have to edit either the /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.conf
file. Just edit whichever one you find. If w2k is on partition /dev/hda1,
then the WinXP entry would look like this:

title WinXP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

(hd0,0) is how grub designates drives and partitions. The hd0 part is hda
and the 0 is the first partition. That's all you have to do. Just reboot. :)

Subject: [luau] RH 7.3 on Presario

Thanks Dan and Warren and others for the help. I did find the mirror,
downloaded the images and the sums checked out, now burning. But based
on myexperience yesterday of trying an old copy of 7.2 I am kind of
worried. Not very intuitive, especially if you are used to Mdk. If I did
not read Warren's review, I would have no clue that the S3 Savage Pro+
was the way to go. Also, I chose Grub (RH seemed to want it that way);
when it rebooted, no sign of WinXP!! I could only boot into RH.  I
suppose I missed some option. Anyway, I went in, tried sndconfig, did
not work, tried some other config and it froze like concrete. So I
reinstalled Mdk 8.2, was glad to see the LILO screen and WinXP (which it
calls NT, I guess because of the filesystem). I will try the 7.3,
perhaps tonight, but probably select LILO. If anyone out there knows
what I did wrong (to not have Win on boot screen), please let me know.
Also, I gather from Warren, even if I get it all on and working, I will
have to fetch upgrades (whcih?) to get sound working. Again thanks.
