I use GRUB v0.97(Mandriva x64) and I have 7 boot choices listed on reboot.

There is in fact 10 in my menu.lst.The last 3 are not listed on the boot screen?I cant find any errors in the file.

Does GRUB have a limit?

Thanks

There is no mention in the Grub Manual about limits on the number of menu entries.

Post your /boot/grub/menu.lst. You don't see any errors. Someone else might.

I have 45 entries in my grub
No problem

and there is a man that has 100+ systems of Dos, Windows, Linux, BSD and Solaris and he is using grub as his boot loader

please post your /boot/grub/menu.list file

Below is the menu.lst.The last 3 are not visible at boot.Starting with DSL.

Thanks

Use the down arrow - or different font/FB specification.

So thats what the down arrow is for.

I feel really,really silly.Thanks

I thought that might be your problem.

BTW, you can chain GRUB menu files, check out the configfile command. I suggest it because it might make your menu less cluttered.

This thread almost reads like a bash.org entry. Thanks for the chuckle.
