a couple of newbie q's
Hi,
I installed Red Hat 9 last night, and have a couple of questions: 1. I installed RH on my second HD, when it was the only one in my box. I now have my XP disc back in, how can i change the grub bootloader to have XP as an option? 2. Having installed aMSN, i can't find how to enable the system tray in GNOME 2.2 any help would be great Cheers |
yes that's not a problem.
Code:
default 1 also, notice my top line for the default - it's 1 not 0 and the line in the windows section says "chainloader + 1, so the grub knows that that's what I want to highlight as the default. Maybe that helps a little? regards John |
Plus I don't know about your second question :confused:
regards John p.s. I forgot to say, in my first post, the file that I'd have to edit is called /boot/grub/grub.conf - don't forget you'll have to be root to edit it, and that because I have a seperate /boot partition that's set up so it mounts for the boot process then unmounts, I have to do mount /dev/hda2 (which is my boot partition). |
Right click on gnome panel->add to panel->utility->notification area

the easiest thing would be to put your Win hdd as slave/secondry otherwise ur pc will boot from your win disk which doesn't have grub installed.
then if u take a look at your devices you'll see your hdd's displayed as e.g. /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2 and so on, the hda part tells u that its ur primary disk so your win disk should look like /dev/hdb* grub handles the disks in a strange way i.e (hd0,0) which actually means /dev/hda1 and (hd0,1) would be /dev/hda2 if that makes much sense to u. anyway as bigjohn said... ur win disk will be (hd1,0), just thought u might like to know why ur naming them like that ;) |
