Thanks for your reply, I'm sure I've tried that and it has no effect,
indeed the line goes back to as it was after editing.  I'll give it
another go - it was quite a while ago since I last looked at the problem
- I'm now in the habit of simply doing a :%s/quiet// in menu.lst if I
notice the boot is quiet :-)
