where is my grub.conf? (multi-boot environment)
 

hi,
i have my windows installed in the hda1 and the grub installed in master boot record. and, my debian installed in hda5.
i can't see the grub.conf in my debian(hda5.) neither in /boot/grub/grub.conf nor /etc/grub.conf.
do u know where is my grub.conf? i want to edit it in order to change the screen resolution.
any help?
thanks,
jim

Debian uses /boot/grub/menu.lst

There is no grub.conf on my system.

When you boot, press "e" to edit a particular grub boot entry. This is only a short-term workaround solution.

What you really need to do: run updatedb (or whatever it is called in debian) and then "locate grub.conf"

Note: grub.conf is probably called menu.lst in Debian!

find grub.conf
 

Try this: or depending on where you mounted that drive. If it exists, and you have the privileges to read it, it should appear.

That seemed sort of funny.
 

I may have mis-understood your question. If you meant that you need a new grub.conf file, and it has been deleted, have a look at Gentoo's instructions for setting up grub - http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10

Debian does not use grub.conf. It has menu.lst
