Hello! Sorry, I didn't put the question clearly. Actually, I am not trying to accomplish nothing in particular, just trying to understand (and learn). What happened was : I have 6.06 LTS on my boot partition. But I needed to test some SW written specifically for Hoary HedgeHog so I've decided to install it on a free partition. The installer handled all for me. But now, when I boot the machine GRUB seems to be using /boot/grub/menu.lst on Hoary partition, not the boot partition as I was expecting. I got a little confused by this, because fdisk -l says that 6.06 LTS partition is still marked as the boot one... I've always believed (until now) that GRUB would look always into /boot/grub/menu.lst on the boot partition. Isn't that so ? Thanks in advance for your clarifications.
