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

zappz · 07-03-2004, 02:03 AM

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

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