This n00b wants to Edit Grub.cfg

I want to change the display resolution in text mode.. I change this in grub.cfg when I know my kernel has the correct config, it does.

Grub.cfg seems not to exist on my system

Do I have to write it from scratch or something ?

i would suggest using a live cd, and checking if you have a grub.conf
it should be
/boot/grub/grub.conf

if you do not have one, while on the live cd
get sum1 on here to give you a copy of theres
and the relevent files such as stage1 stage 2 etc
if you dont have them

Thanks mate, I had a look and the only Live cd's I have are Knoppix ones, they dont seem to use grub. So if someone could send me one i'd be very grateful, I have one HD atm, First partition is my old XP system, then Debian.

Do you not have the menu.lst file? It's the same thing.

Do

Code:

ls /boot/grub

That will list the contents of /boot/grub.

Then with a text editor such as nano, do

Code:

nano /boot/grub/menu.lst

or

Code:

nano /boot/grub/grub.conf

And change what you want.
