Grub .. ?

[Nutrageous]

I installed mandrake, but it took me three times to get it right with my USB KB. Now, in Grub there is old_linux, old_linux2, old_windows, etc.. you get the picture. I found the following code in root/boot/grub/menu.lst, was wondering if there would be any effect in me deleting it?

title old_linux
kernel (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17-21mdk root=/dev/hda5 hdd=ide-scsi

title old1_failsafe
kernel (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17-21mdk root=/dev/hda5 hdd=ide-scsi failsafe

title old2_windows
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

Etc.. you get the picture. Will this screw anything up?

Hm.. anyone?

When you say delete IT, does it refer to the whole file, or just some ofn the lines in the file.

If you want to 86 the whole file, I don't know. Make sure you keep the lines that refer to what you wnat to be able to boot.

Also, check your usr/src for the images those lines refer to, but really its up to you. If there is an image you want to boot into, then keep the lines for it otherwise, get rid of em.

good luck

Just the lines.

just the lines
Yes.

Each "title" line and the associated lines below it are often refered to as a stanza. For each unused/unwanted menu entry, delete the entire stanza.
