Fwd: Announcing the release of Fedora Core 3

[Kevin O'Gorman]

Hardware is a PIII.  Root and boot are /dev/hdb7 and /dev/hdb8
Grub installed to the MBR, or I would not have seen "GRUB" on
the monitor when it rebooted, right?

How does grub know where to find its menu.lst?  Could that be
related to it's being uncommunicative?
