Dear All,
I have several experimental Linux installs, plus one production install, with a boot floppy for each. The latest install, of course, puts its own bootloader on the hard disk (the Fedora 1.0 bootloader was overwritten by Mandrake 9.2).
Now, my problem is that I want to make Fedora 1.0 boot from the hard disk, but I cannot find the maintenance tool to rewrite the bootloader in any of the menus. What am I overlooking? How do I rewrite the bootloader.
Thanks for your help. Mike Smith

That's a bug you should report to Mandrake. There should be an option to add the new kernel to the existing bootloader, or not modify it at all.

What bootloader did Mandrake install?
Which one do you want to use?
You can probably boot FC1 from floppy, add lines for mandrake in /etc/grub.conf, and run grub-install.
