I used "Super Grub" to repair my grub and Ubuntu does not boot up. It
starts and then quits.

Is there any way to get the boot fixed from a terminal in the ISO disk
of Ubuntu 7.10?

Is there a way to get the menus to list so I can get my software listed?

Any help will be a boon. Thanks in advance.

Yes, you should be able to mount the root partition from nautilus then
browse to the /boot/grub folder. If Supergrub overwrote your menu.lst then
I'd expect it backed it up, you should be able to restore the original and
work from there. If you need to get there in a terminal it will probably
be something like /media/disk/boot/grub but issue a "mount" or "df"
command first and see if that gives a clue as to where it was mounted.
