:confused:
Hi. I'm newbie in Linux and my english is not veriy good ( Im from Portugal, land of sun and good beachs..hihihihih). I installed in first the Big Linux (ext3/Swap) good job. After to try another Linux I installed Fedora ( other ext3/swap), and ok no problem run well. But of course now i have a problem .. the sistem begin allways in Fedora. The Fedora have a option BootLoader and inside this frame i have Fedora and Other. i select other and nothing, no run. how can i make a multiboot in the begin as in Windows system ? Where is the dir or file boot in the FEdora? Can i edit the file and do some changes ? pu t aline boot from Biglinux inside the boot of Fedora ? Please be pacience with me ...... regards. :scratch: |
what boot loader are you using?
post the out of ------fdisk -l if you use grub bootloader the file is in /boot/grub/menu.lst menu.lst is the file to edit. if you use grub post the menu.lst & output from fdisk -l VINNY |

From Fedora or Biglinux? I saw the Biglinux the file is in /boot/grub/menu.lst Grub but the Fedora i dont Know. I do Ctrl Alt F1 and i don't find nothing (files or dir) with name Boot. you speak about "post the out of -------Fdisk -l" Is a command ? how i give this command? in localhost? pacience i'm newbie. best regards |
I think they mean just simply open a terminal, type
Code:
su Code:
fdisk -l |
my fdisk -l output as an example is
Code:
john@battleTop:~$ su Notice that I have only one Linux swap. You only need one. All your Linux systems will recognize that one. Another good idea is to create an extended partition for /home that way I can remove the system, and keep my data when I want a new operating system |

http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html If you are using the LILO bootloader then the bootloader file is /etc/lilo.conf. You can edit this file. Then you have to run the lilo command before the changes take effect. Here is a LILO manual: http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/HOWTO/mini/LILO.html -------------------------------- Steve Stites |
