[arsol76]

Hello all.
I installed Backtrack 5 r2 with Windows 7 & for some tutorials that i read before installing about dual-boot and for run GRUB so i installed GRUB in partition that i installed Win now i want to change something in menu.lst from GRUB for customize but i can't find it in "/boot/grub",I also searched in Win partition but nothing ....
Where I can find that?

[VulpiArgenti]

/etc/default/grub

A good linux command for this situations is "locate":

locate menu.lst

It will return a list with all the directories containing a file named "menu.lst".
Run "man locate" for more information.

/etc/default/grub

Thanks a lot. in "default" folder i couldn't see "grub" folder to edit "menu.lst" i just saw a file in default folder with name "grub" that
e.g. i changed timeout and saved it but when i reboot computer nothing changed in grub.
do you know why?

and @ dear Snayler i copy that in terminal but show one thing that's not about it.

the file in question your looking for is grub.cfg

nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg


r083rt

Yet another way to find any file on your system:

find / | grep {filename}

such as:

find / grep menu.lst

. You can make the search go faster if you know approximately where the file is, such as

find /root | grep myfile

Thanks but there is not a folder with name "grub" in "etc/default"
i just found a grub file in that location that names "grub" and i changed but nothing changed!!
and when i enter "locate menu.lst" they show one file that names "grub-menu.lst" and it's not about it.
Can you help me?

who is letting these posts through because its not a backtrack dev as they would have marked the tread as solved after the correct answer was given
is the moderating done by auto script i.e check if miss use of language and let it through or are mods actual checking them ??

nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg
