V4 and /grub/boot/menu.lst

**zillah** · 01-24-2006, 05:21 AM

Could you please explain ,what should I do to check and how can I mount it again?

You meant I have to issue ls -al to see the permission for the file,,,then to change the permission I have to type in:

chmod +w /mnt/hdb6/boot/grub/menu.lst or chmod +w /mnt/hdb6/boot/grub/menu.lst,,,,,,,,didn't you ?

if you do below, you will able to modify /mnt/hdb6/boot/grub/menu.lst

1- mount /dev/hdb6 /mnt/hdb6
2- Right click on the hdb6 icon (my case).
3- Click on "Actions"
4- Change the read/write permissions to writeable.

What I do is :
open shell/console
'su' to root
'mc' to open midnight commander
change to /mnt/hdb6........etc using keyboard/mouse
select menu.lst (ie highlight it)
press 'F4' to edit (but beware.....changing the wrong thing can make your system unusable, don't blame me if you do

)

change to /mnt/hdb6........etc using keyboard/mouse

I highlighted /mnt/hdb6,,,,I tried "Enter" button it did not let me access it.
I tried other keyboard buttons , I could not access it,,,,

Is there any special charcter I have to hit to be able to access it ?
