Merging Lines

[Tyro65]

I am trying to run UNetBootin in Win98 to install linux on an old mini laptop. I have found a solution, which was written by topkapi on howtoforge.com, to a problem I've been having. The instructions require that I merge lines in config.sys. But how DO I merge the lines? The instructions follow:

"So, WIN98-users (?!) with similar problems using UNetBootIn, try this:
1. in WINDOWS, open your CONFIG.SYS (evt. deactivate read-only-status!) in a text-editor

2. merge the following lines:
[menu]
menucolor=15,0
menuitem=windows,Windows
menuitem=grldrUNetBootIn,UNetBootIn
menudefault=windows,30
[grldrUNetBootIn]
device=grub.exe
[windows]

3. safe CONFIG.SYS

4. start UNetBootIn, let it install and reboot your system

5. NOW you'll get the NEW MENU! Choose UBUNTU and let it install

6. In UBUNTU open your good old WIN98-CONFIG.SYS and erase the lines merged above

That's it!
Good luck to you all!

But how DO I merge the lines?

Copy and Paste, just like you did in the editor of the forum....

in case you cannot see the CONFIG.SYS, then you have to make it visible...

Double-click on the My Computer icon.
Select the View menu and then click Folder Options.
After the new window appears select the View tab.
Scroll down until you see the Show all files radio button and select it.
Press the Apply button and then the OK button and close the My Computer window.
