Well, at least you didn't spoil a perfectly good Friday for me. A symlink is something I can do. Hmmm... Maybe the *64 systems are different? I'm on a 686. A rpm -q --filesbypkg grub doesn't show anything in /etc. And an rpm -v --verify grub looks ok too. How much can I trust this stuff? The --verify shows /boot/grub but nothing in the directory itself - no /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.conf. And a --whatprovides on those two files claims no package owns them. I guess they are not delivered as part of the package, but constructed during install. > > Kai > Thanks, -- Bill
