I've got a script set up to do it all for me, with not a single bit of error checking... :) Just remember, rescue root=/dev/hda1 is your friend. :) And while we're on the subject (and at the risk of getting somewhat OT) what's the most "innovative" (read: convoluted) way anyone has of updating their mbr for dual boot? I've got a script which will read the Linux boot info into a file, ftp it to my DC (which has a repository of my last 20 configurations just in case), and execute a reboot. Upon reboot, I start the system up in Windows, which has another script that runs at start up which (using Cygwin's bash shell) gets the appropriate boot file from the DC and writes it to my NTFS C: drive. (Until recently I had no FAT partitions, so I had to use the DC for temporary storage, which then grew into auto-backup beast that it is now.) -Alex
