Maybe I'm assuming too much. Having run "apt-get install grub-pc" ( which then asks me to run "apt-get -f install") is it necessary to run "grub-install" or has that already been done?
It usually prompts you to run apt-get -f install because there are broken packages on the system, so it might be worth running it to see what it wants to upgrade/remove/fix.
You need both grub-pc (Grub 2.0) and the corresponding version of grub-install, which in Debian is in the grub-common package. Make sure that running grub-install --version gives 2.0 or a later version. Mine is grub-install (GRUB) 2.00-19
You're trying to run an old version of grub-install with Grub 2.0 - that won't work.
Thanks, I'll try again! Cheers, -- Regards, Terry Duell
