I attempted a frugal grub upgrade to 3.2 via apps/tools after booting from the cdrom. Ver 2.3 image was on hda1, so I attempted writing the image there. After noting that image was written, I got the familiar "no space left on device" error (I thought initial format was set up with plenty of additional space, but perhaps it configured for only what it needed). Now the computer gets stuck at the "uncompressing linux. OK, booting the kernel..." stage. I thought, wrongly, that it would boot up from the cdrom as previously. I tried editing the grub start-up menu, which allows me to edit the boot-up config (e..e..), changing "dev/hda1" to "dev/scd1" (/mnt/cdrom1...I use a USB cdrom since the cdrom on my laptop is a piece of junk; no luck. I'm trying to find a way out of this morass....(perhaps if I can just get to Fdisk or something....)
