1. Open a terminal (click on the 'X Term' icon)
Inside the terminal you can type commands.
type in the commands as suggested below and then <enter>
2. Find out where menu.lst is,
in the terminal try,
ls /mnt/hda1/boot/grub/menu.lst
(there is a space after 'ls')
if it is there, it shows "/mnt/hda1/boot/grub/menu.lst"
if it isn't there, you get an error message. in which case
you need to change the partition name;
e.g
ls /mnt/hda2/boot/grub/menu.lst
or ls /mnt/hdb1/boot/grub/menu.lst
basically you need to find where the grub installation put
the file menu.lst. (i'm assuming hda1 for the commands below)
3. Once step 2 is successful, you now edit it.
but first become the 'root' user (an account which let's
you play god).
In the same terminal,
sudo su
4. Now edit the menu.lst file,
In the same terminal,
beaver /mnt/hda1/boot/grub/menu.lst
a text editor (called beaver) pops up with the contents of
menu.lst.
5. Inside beaver, find the first line that looks something like this;
kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda1 quiet vga=normal noacpi noapm nodma noscsi frugal
6. at the end of the line add the word ' toram' (including the space),
so now you have;
kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda1 quiet vga=normal noacpi noapm nodma noscsi frugal toram
7. Save the file,
from the beaver menu,
File > Save
8. Reboot.
(right click on the desktop, >Power Down>Reboot.
