Default Re: Bootup Manager in Ubuntu
Hi I am not 100% sure if this will work but i suppose its worth a try, as my SATA drives now auto mount upon boot

goto console

chdir /etc/rcS.d <enter>

sudo ln -s ../init.d/mountall.sh <enter>

enter password <enter> then reboot, should hopefully work...

But how to edit the file?
It says i have insufficient permission to perform the edit.
Isn't there a GUI software to do this? I have used one in Ubuntu Ultimate Edition.

Yes

Press Alt and F2

type gnome-terminal and press ENTER

type sudo gedit and press ENTER, key in your password when prompted and press ENTER. When you key in your password you will not see the cursor move or any *** charactersd so be careful

Gedit the text editor will open in superuser mode and you can take browse to /boot/grub/menu.lst and edit it. Just comment out unwanted line, that means putting a # character at the beginning of th eline, but do that after you read the tutorial.
