diskette boot loader

diskette boot loader

[Krzysztof Kujawski]

In short words, can you give me a recipe  for boot diskiette 
to boot linux and as chainloader 2 Windowses. 


I have on my hard disk 2 Windowses and Linux fedora core. 
I have reinstall Windows and MBR generated by FC was deleted. 
Now I can't boot linux - reinstalling FC is not solution - I 
obtain info 'boot loader configuration will not be changed'.

Right.  And normally you can better ask questions about GRUB on
bug-grub@gnu.org.  This list is for development of GRUB 2 only.  It's
weird that there are this many off-topic email's lately...

Thanks,

It wouldn't hurt about telling about bug-grub mailing list ;)

By first looking at grub's web page only list that I can find from there 
is this one. To find out bug-grub you have to go to development page or 
bug reports. There is nowhere (at least easy to spot) instructions where 
to get help about using it (other than docs or FAQ).

And I would still stress that grub-help is more easier to spot :)

I don't think so. Have you looked at the GRUB web site recently? The 
only way to know grub-devel is to go the section Development of GRUB 2.

Today ? :)

Assuming we talk about this:
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/

Now if I look at text I can see 'mailing list' text in red there. In 
GRUB 2 and GRUB legacy section.

Personally I would probably click on that one. Guess where it goes :)
