Please help!
Have had 6.10 building nicely over the last couple of weeks and only had to do a couple of complete rebuilds (I'm totally new to this). What I lacked was a good backup system. I liked the idea of the image copy of a partition, the only problem being that my back up drives and my external CDR share the same firewire, which meant I couldn't use the SystemRescueCD to do this.
I came up with the brilliant plan of adding a bootable partion to my HDD using dsl (damn small linux) so that, booting into that I could do my image of my main partition.
All went well, and I have a bootable dsl partition running and haven't so far touched any (as in wiped) any of the data on my main partition.
The problem is that during the installation of the dsl partition i've reconfigured GRUB and it only gives me the options to boot to the dsl partition!
Can anyone tell my how I add my 6.10 partition to the multiboot setup? I can cut to the grub menu alright, but have no idea what to do from there!
Hope someone can help.

NATURALLY I WORKED IT OUT AFTER POSTING - I MOUNTED THE 6.10 PARTITION IN DSL & FOUND THE MENU.LST IN THE /BOOT/GRUB DIR ON EACH PARTITION AND COPIED THE RELEVANT BITS FROM THE 6.10 MENU.LST TO THE DSL MENU.LST.
IF THIS IS UNSTABLE PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
