I am new to Kanotix and so far like. I have kanotix64 installed on the harddrive. My question concerns which choice should I make when booting up. When grub loads I am presented with these choices:
Debian GNU/Linux, Kernal
Debian GNU/Linux, Kernal 2.6.14-Kanotix64-9
The other choice is windows, which I don't want. I have an AMD Athalon64 processor and want to run 64 bit. Is there a difference between the two?
Thanks,
John |

Wow, quick answer. So I can choose either one and have the same thing? I don't understand why it would be there more than once if they are the same. Sorry about the questions, just wondering and trying to learn.

| The top linux choice is just a link to the most recent kernel that you've installed. When you install other kernels, there may be many choices, but the top default one will point to the last one you installed. |

When the list is to long you allways can edit the "/boot/grub/menu.lst" file and comment the ones you dont wanna use alltrough best is to keep atleast one extra kernel option open for savety incase something breakes in the running kernel
Eample: This kernel can be picked
Code:
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel blabal
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1 ro ramdisk_size=100000 lang=us apm=power-off nomce nosmp noapic vga=791
initrd /boot/initrd.img
boot
This kernel not
Code:
#title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel blabla
#root (hd1,0)
#kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16.16-kanotix-1 root=/dev/hdb1 ro ramdisk_size=100000 lang=us #apm=power-off nomce nosmp noapic vga=791
#initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16.16-kanotix-1

...and using update-grub which is called upon every new kernel install, the kernel list is refreshed again for each installed kernel.
Just remove old kernels after you've ensured that the new one works (or keep only a certain amount of old kernels). |

You can always change the name too,
Debian GNU/Linux, Kernal............
I just use "kanotix" in its place
Too remove old kernels just do
remove-all-kernels-completely
If you don't want windows to show (won't be able to boot to) comment out that line
example
### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
title Windows XP
chainloader (hd0,0)+1
change it to
### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
#title Windows XP
chainloader (hd0,0)+1 |
