My /boot/grub/menu.lst

There are a few different ways to set up multi-boot system in Linux. I use Debian Etch to boot Mepis, Linux Mint, and Ubuntu. Here are the key parts of my /boot/grub/menu.lst file:


title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-6-486
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-486 root=/dev/hda1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-486
savedefault

title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-6-486 (single-user mode)
