Re: grub?

["John Miskinis" <miskinis@hotmail.com>]

Hello,

FYI - I remember seeing some posts that indicated that the
CD that was shipped with this book has problems.  I
do not know what the "grub>" prompt is all about though.

Debian 2.1 is what I run on my Thinkpad 560, but a friend
copied the CDs for me, from the "official" ones.
