Here is my prob...I am running a dual boot system...Win2K Pro and Linux Mandrake 9.1. I am using Linux's boot manager. I had a problem installing Linux the first time so I re-installed again and now there are duplicate listings in the boot manager. Where is tyhe file I need to edit to remove the extra linux? =)

Thanks for the help!

Are you using Grub or Lilo as the boot manager?

Be careful. Are both installs to the same partition for root/boot?

Lilo or Grub...hmmm. Well, The screen is blue that comes up, I used Lilo long ago and it wasn't blue..so I think Grub. Yes the two installs of mandrake were on the same partition. I just want the one I don't use removed from the list...easier said than done?
