Yes, you can mount the hda2 partition and see the files in there. I think you can also find the files in /cdrom. People from Indiana seem to be rare around these parts. The Texans are everywhere.

Wonderous, I got it!
Yes, I mounted /dev/hda2 to /mnt/hda2, and was able to find an editable /boot/grub/menu.lst. I checked /etc/fstab, and the mount cmd *is* in there; I have no idea why it wasn't mounting.
Anyways, that did the trick. I now boot up with persistent /home, /opt, all them goodies.
I also found /usr/sbin/frugal_grub.sh, had a read. I don't see anything in there that would account for my being prompted for boot options a couple days ago. I did NOT use the frugal_install.sh script that installs lilo. Was I hallucinating? Have the drugs worn off by now?
(fade out to 'Twilight Zone' refrain...)
BTW, Chris, you wouldn't happen to be close enough to Indianapolis to go to Cinlug meetings, would you? They NEED a presentation of DSL. I would certainly attend!
