Paul,
I may have an explanation for the error message ; in "/boot/grub" I do not 
have a file called "menu.lst" not installed for unknown reasons ; the problem 
is that with my present knowledge of the FC3 system I do not know how to edit 
GRUB files from nothing ; can you send me the files supposed to be contained 
in "/boot/grub" directory for me to tailor them to my present setup ; there 
may be :
- "menu.lst",
- "messages",
- "fr-latin1.klt",
at least.

Now from what I know about LILO and GRUB is it possible to install LILO on FC3 
as :
- it can be configured from KDE control center,
- from a "menu.lst" example that I have in front of me there are lines like 
(hd0,n) where n indicates the partition number ! ; why not hda1, 
hdb2...etc... ; could not believe it !
Regards.
