Hi: 
 
Right now I have a dual boot system of Windowz XP and Red Hat. My Red Hat logs into the GUI (gnome) when I select it. I want to have three options from boot. 
 
1. Red Hat (GUI) 
2. Red Hat (Shell) 
3. Windows XP 
 
So my question is, what do I need to add to have the extra option to boot into the shell. I'm guessing I need to add another entry to my menu.lst file under my /boot/grub. 
 
Here is what my menu.lst files looks like thus far: 
 
default=1 
timeout=10 
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz 
title Fedora Core (2.6.5-1.358) 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;root (hd0, 1) 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;initrd /initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img 
title Windows XP 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;rootnoverify (hd0,0) 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;chainloader +1 
 
Any help would be great. Thankx!

Adding extra option in grub boot menu

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
