Grub 0.97 install [SOLVED by MYSELF]

[gaaslight]

I installed grub 0.97 using synaptic. It automatically removed grub-pc. However, I reboot and it looks like grub2 is loaded and I also can't find /boot/grub/menu.lst. Do I need to install grub in a console

Code: Select all

grub> install

?

Following the instructions from your link. Skipping the parts I'd already performed with synaptic,

Code: Select all

sudo update-grub
sudo update-grub: command not found

However.

Code: Select all

su

Perhaps a better response to my "do I need to install grub in a console?"

Code: Select all

grub> install

would have been

Code: Select all

su update-grub

Please Edit your post title and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

Having updated grub and successfully rebooted, I will mark my thread as "Solved", though I think it a bit presumptuous to assume that all your responses will result in a solution.
