</div></div>Kate opened when I finished the last instruction. What a thoughtful bit of<br>
information. Will menu.lst have information in it the next time I boot, or do<br>
I have to find and apply it to the file?</blockquote><div><br>If you save the changes while you are in kate, they are saved to the hard drive and will be there when you next boot.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I don't know how the boot information and menu.lst information gets into its<br>
proper place, so I have to assume that perhaps it is automatic during the boot<br>
process.</blockquote><div><br>During the boot process, the bootable partition with /boot on it is loaded by Grub. It knows where that is, because it was told when Grub was installed. <br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I want very much to save this email, as for many I have received<br>
during this project, but being in Live CD, I will have to try to see if I can<br>
find enough space in a thumb drive. In any event, thanks for the help.</blockquote><div><br>You can always search the archives.

Was Zach your son? Every time I look at your facebook entry, my heart breaks<br>
for you and those who loved him. There is nothing really a stranger can say,<br>
and yet, my heart aches for you, and my hope is that he is in heaven having a<br>
great time.<br>
<br>
Additionally, you are those you love will be in my prayers.</blockquote></div><br>Thank you.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own<br><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=34091576500&ref=mf">http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=34091576500&ref=mf</a><br>
