grub loader
Submitted by mjones08 on February 27, 2007 - 00:04.
hey same problem from earlier. First off, someone posted a link to a site with a method for loading the grub back, but it dosnt work for me. apparently the command "grub" does not work. So any ideas? PS i MIGHT just install a newer more update version of linux instead if it takes to much effort to fix this.
If anyone knows of a good version (ready to go for programming so i dont have to d/l all the updates to compile stuff) let me know and ill just install over my old one. thanks

Ubuntu all the way. You get nearly everything you need for programming by just running 'sudo apt-get install build-essential'. No matter what distro you choose, you'll still have to download updates, but it's the ease of doing so that changes. Pretty much any distro based off of Debian will be fine.

If you're running Ubuntu all ready you can just upgrade to the newest version. If you're more than one rev out though, you'd have to do all of the intermediate steps.
The fact that you don't have a grub binary is strange. Any other files randomly disapearing?

HEY! Don't be hatin' on
HEY! Don't be hatin' on SUSE! Besides, didn't he install Ubuntu last year, couldn't get it to work and took my SUSE disk instead? As I recall, everyone wanted to be cool like me ;) haha
Vista and SUSE 10.0 get along perfectly (I wonder why...)
EDIT: wait, nevermind, I guess that never actually happened...it was this year that he decided to finally be cool like me and "upgrade" ;) haha
I do not believe that Vista
I do not believe that Vista gets along with SUSE, Pottz. Vista doesn't even get along with Vista.
