hello,
the last 3 times I installed C5, the MBR was unchanged and nothing was written
into /boot/grub except splash.xbm.gz
there were no stage* files, nor a menu.lst
I know how to fix that.
Would I have better luck using a partition mounted as /boot?
Anyone succeded with Grub that way? I prefer not having to do surgery to get C5
to boot :)

Do you have multiple disk ? Can you search on all your disk for grub's files ?

Once you find something that works, you tend to keep using it. Call me old and stale! ;-P -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
