<br>As a new user, I had some problem:<br><br>"While going at:<br><h4> <span class="mw-headline">

<br>my /boot/grub/menu.lst contents are as follows:<br><br>*********************************************************<br><br># grub.conf generated by anaconda<br>#<br># Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file<br>
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that<br># all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/,
eg.<br># root (hd0,7)<br># kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root<br># initrd /initrd-version.img<br>#boot=/dev/sda<br>default=1<br>timeout=9<br>splashimage=(hd0,7)/grub/splash.xpm.gz<br>

is as if, I am opening grub.conf, amazing. I don't know why it is happening. I
request you to please let me know how to make it come or repaste from
somewhere in FC11.<br><br>Other details are as follows:<br><br>OS: FC11, WinXP also (2nd preference in booting)<br>Root login: enabled via editing "/etc/pam.d/gdm" & "/etc/pam.d/gdm-password"files.<br>
For any other software, (like, e.g., VLC) if I try to install, installing via user account and switching to root in the terminal.<br><br>But as listed at the url:<br><br><a href="http://www.fedoraguide.info/index.php?title=Main_Page#How_to_disable_all_interactive_editing_control_for_GRUB_menu">http://www.fedoraguide.info/index.php?title=Main_Page#How_to_disable_all_interactive_editing_control_for_GRUB_menu</a><br>
<br>Nowhere are being seen the following contents:<br><br><pre>## password ['--md5'] passwd<br># If used in the first section of a menu file, disable all interactive editing<br># control (menu entry editor and command-line) and entries protected by the<br>
# command 'lock'<br><br>which should be in '/boot/grub/menu.lst'<br></pre>
