What is the best way to configure grub to boot distros that use lilo? I'm running Ubuntu-7.10 and I am trying to get Zenwalk, Vectorlinux. and others to boot from grub. Any /boot/grub/menu.lst configurations would help. Thanks

You just need to add the relevant vmlinuz and the initrd entry for each distro. Here's a sample: http://192.48.170.157/LDP/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO/grubconf.html Cheers!

Just repeat these options to the menu lst each for one os/boot configuration hd0,0 is the partition (first number is the physical disk, the second one is the partition) title My Linux 1 root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-whatever ro root=/dev/hda1 initrd /initrd-whatever The good thing is that grub has a shell like interface that you can use BEFORE it boots (press e at the boot prompt) and you can experiment with the options there. It can read EXT2 so you just have to give it the correct filenames on the right partition and you're good to go.
