Goh Lip & Tom,
@Tom, many thanks for the links. Apparently I have to remove menu.lst 
and let grub-update make a new one.
@Go lip, Thanks for the suggestion. However, I've read so many disasters 
happening with grub2 that I don't know if it is a good idea. For my 
simple requirements up till now grub worked without problems. I assume 
that the coming LTS (12.04?) will require grub2 but I have read so many 
disastrous stories about unity that I seriously consider another 
distribution. I started with simple Linux (1991 0,99) then via Red Hat 
Suse and Fedora coming to Ubuntu. However, I currently have the 
impression that ubuntu more and more goes the KISS way just like 
Microsoft and Apple and hide the controls behind many layers to make it 
more difficult for technical users to control their system. Have you 
ever tried to fathom the intricacies of pulseaudio?? I rest my case.

It's Friday afternoon here and I have the perfect excuse to sit back 
with a "borrel" :that's a typical Dutch drink called "oude genever"
and has nothing to do with gin a drink in my opinion only palatable with 
lots of tonic. And to top it up I'll eat a "zoute haring", also a 
typical Dutch treat not found anywhere else in the world.
Have a very nice weekend and thanks again.
