I just installed RedHat Linux9 on my laptop w/ windows xp.
When the grub boot loader first loaded everything was fine. It showed my DOS (WIN XP) partition along w/ the new Linux partition. Both Load up just fine.
When I proceeded to update Linux everything seemed to go smoothly. I remember something about a kernal update along with a bunch of other programs that seemed to get updated. I new to linux so I just updated what it listed and rebooted my systems
When the grub loader initialized it list 2 linux choices along with my win xp. I can't remember what it says exactly but the two linux choices are identitcal except for some numbers at the end which look like version numbers? At any rate --- both linux choices boot up the linux OS. They seem to work fine as well as my Win Xp.
My question is how do I get rid of one of those linux choices so that my boot loader only lists win xp and linux? I tried doing an update with the installation disks so that I could sort of re-do the boot loader stuff but at the end of the update a message box popped up and said it didnt reconfigure the boot loader because a kernal wasn't installed. Again I'm very new to this and am trying to broaden my knowledge of OS such as linux. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
