I have installed Kubuntu twice in two days. The second time it started
Konqueror/Internet on the first click. I thought that was pretty good!
Why doesn't the above menu.lst start windows? It also refers to the HD's as
dev/sdb3 and sda1. I thought Kubuntu used hda/hdb as the name of Hd's.
How do you set the boot flags when you format during installation? I think I
set both Hda and Hdb1 as bootable. Is that where it installs grub? Maybe I
should have only one Hd with a bootable flag.
Look at this terminal output below.It looks totally different than I
expected.I thought that I erased sdb1 which was Mempis. And left Pclinux
intact. and replaced Mepis with Kubuntu. But I seamed to have erased both and
created a boot sdb1 and sdb3 as kubuntu.
