-   Hello,

When you reinstall or upgrade linux and boot,
you see in the dual boot menu :

oldlinux
oldfailsafe,
oldlinux-nonfb
linux,
failsafe,
linux-nonfb,
windows,
floppy.

1. Why does that happen? Doesn't it overwrite like windows?

2. How would you then remove the old linux, old failsafe,
old linux-nonfb?

Regards,

Varun Pabrai

-   No, it doesn't overwrite the kernels, in case you need to go back to an old working version.
If your system is running fine, and you want to get rid of the old settings, go to
'K/Configuration/Other/Mandrake Control Center/Boot/Boot Config' and click on 'Configuration'.
This program will allow you to remove the old settings.
