My money is on Kubuntu being weird. On my bro's Kubuntu I run grub-update but on Gentoo it is grub-mkconfig or something to that effect. I noticed that with Gentoo there is a option on the tail end too. With Kubuntu there is no options or at least none needed anyway. I'm waiting on new/more docs myself. I want to know not only how to upgrade but how to fix if it pukes on my keyboard. Hopefully other than chroot'in in and all. I have a lot of partitions and they are on LVM right now. That chroot'in is a pain in the butt. Oh, LOTS of stuff in /usr too so it has to be mounted for you to fix grub. < sighs > Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
