How do you edit GRUB?
 
Would anyone be so kind to help a newbie edit GRUB. I thought I had figured it out but the only result I can get is "access denied", even when l logon as SU.

I am running Fedora Core 2.0

Thanks :p

What are you using to edit the file?

You can use any text editor i.e.
emacs grub.conf

Linux Terminal - - logging in as SU

the typing /boot/grub/grub.conf

Hello and welcome to LQ!

Try:
su
Password: *******
joe /boot/grub/grub.conf

or
su

vi /boot/grub/grub.conf

Hope this helped!

Neither of those methods worked. Any other suggestions?

Thanks : )

First you have to mount your boot partiton...
Code:
mount /boot
must mount your boot partition... Then you can edit grub.conf by
Code:
nano -w /boot/grub/grub.conf
or..
Code:
vi /boot/grub/grub.conf
Cheers...

It's already mounted.

/boot/grub/menu.lst (that is a small L)
or
/etc/grub.conf

One is a link to the other.

Also to search try:
whereis grub.conf
