   Grub
  Well, as of always, im always messing around with different OSs and this time i decided to give Gentoo linux a shot. Anyways, as a linux newbie, i went along with stage 3. Everything thing went alright AFAIK, except for one thing. GRUB. Looks like i entered the wrong configurations in grub.conf, and i did RTFM. The difference between my system and the manual is that i have a copy of windows running on a partition. Here is my /dev/hda (the only hard drive i have installed on my pc) info (from fdisk):   device  boot  start  End    BlocksId  System/dev/hda1   *    1 9160   73577668+  7   HPFS/NTFS/dev/hda2   9161   9964   6458130    f   Win95 Ext'd (LBA)/dev/hda5   9161   9925   6144831    83  Linux/dev/hda6   9926   9964   31323682  Linux swap  btw, i installed linux kernel 2.4.20and if you're curious my specs areAthlonXP 2200+256mb DDR80 gig hdATI Radeon 7000 agp 4x 64mb ddrSo what am I supposed to enter in grub.conf?[edited by - yves032784 on November 10, 2003 3:08:23 PM]

Otherwise, save and that's it * optional -initrd /initrd-[version of kernel].imgsave that and reboot. No need to re-setup grub.

Read up on gnu.org. Look for grub and it has a whole bunch of sample grub.conf''s.   The official zorx website
