help needed

[Mathieu Avoine]

Bob,

I suggest you refer to GRUB's wiki page:
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/.

I have WinXP/Ubuntu dual boot setup on my computer and it works great. I
never tried dual booting using WARP, but I guess the setup must be very
similar. Pay special attention to section 4.1.2 Load another boot loader to
boot unsupported operating
systems<http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Chain_002dloading.html#Chain_002dloading>
which
I believe may give you the special instructions you need to boot your WARP
O/S.

Personally, I don't find the instructions very clear on that page,
considering the fact that it's maintained by the people who maintain GRUB.
It lacks examples and stuff that people new to linux need (I don't know if
it's the case for you...). So, some googling (like Alfred
recommended) should help complete the picture.

Hope this helps.
Feel free to post more questions if you hit a rock again while digging
for your answer!
