Excellent Bill. I am surprised that both well written grub tutorials 
were done by guys using Ubuntu Linux. And using this other Linux makes 
some of the teaching incorrect if your using Fedora. In our /boot/grub/ 
we have grub.conf. They do not. But they do have menu.lst which is ok. 
Also they do their grub.conf different than we do.  His pictures are a 
lot better than the other on.
