grub over lilo
 

Hi! I am using Debian and i want to remove lilo and install grub over it... Do u know the procedure?

apt-get remove lilo
apt-get install grub

check to see if /boot/grub/menu.lst exists and that it contains the right info for your system

thx
 

Do u know how i can view all the installed packages in my Debian?

dpkg -l

that easy :)

or use synaptic (if you have a gui installed) or aptitude

"check to see if /boot/grub/menu.lst exists and that it contains the right info for your system"

and if it doen't exist??
I was wondering if must perform some more actions for installing succesfully grub

i believe you looking for grub-install

run it as root

of if you using GNOME
or click on APplications>System Tools?Boot

apt-get -y remove --purge lilo
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get install grub
grub-install /dev/hda
update-grub

thx
 

thzx for your reply



But can u explain me why

You run apt-get with -y option ,remove --purge? What purge provides?
apt-get -y remove --purge lilo

apt-get clean -->What this do?

apt-get update -->And this
??

apt-get --help
man apt-get

alaios: stop eating so much galactoburiko and start reading www.debian.org, don't
be lazy!
