Hi everybody,

I had a windows98 installation, then i installed redhat linux 9.0(grub
as bootloader).
Everything was working fine but then i had to reinstall windows.
after that i wasnt able to go to my linux installation.

I booted from the redhat 9.0 cdrom , so that bootloader will be
installed again. I selected some packages to upgrade but in the end of
installation it said that no kernel packages upgraded so bootloader will
not be installed.

Can i just install the bootloader someway ?

Or tell me which packages' upgrade to choose so that it wont deny to
install bootloader

Thanks in advance.
