   Hi randy
   please post your list so that someone can take a look at it and find out what's wrong..;-)

   did you make a forum search with keyword "grub"?.maybe the answer is already there.

   Hello randy
   From Slitaz open Sakura (or Terminal)
   $su
   #mkdir /mnt/hda1
   #mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
   #pcmanfm &
   In pcmanfm open /mnt/hda1/boot to know the exact name of vmlinuz (and perhaps initrd, I don't know Ubuntu)
   #leafpad /boot/grub/menu.lst
   add an entry like this
   title Ubuntu(on hda1)
   root (hd0,0)
   kernel /boot/vmlinuz-x.y.z root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet
   initrd /boot/initrd-x.y.z
   Save.
   #reboot
   That's all
   Have a nice day.
