Booting with Ubuntu Grub. Proper syntax to add to Ubuntu's menu.lst?

This is what I found in my menu.lst:

# (0) Arch Linux
title  Arch Linux
root   (hd2,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdc3 ro
initrd /kernel26.img

# (1) Arch Linux
title  Arch Linux Fallback
root   (hd2,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdc3 ro
initrd /kernel26-fallback.img

Is it OK to add it as it is to Ubuntu's menu.lst?

Thanks a lot.

True. I'm the kind of guy that likes to use suspenders and a belt. I have time to do it on Thursday, so I figured I'd get advice in the meantime. It never hurts. There is always someone that knows more than one and is willing to help. I think.

It should work as written. If you're in doubt, try it from the grub command line first to verify the entries.

Good idea. Thanks for the reply. I think you mean the use of 'tab'.

I did it guys. Thanks a lot for your help. My problem now is that I'm greeted by 'host login' and I don't know what to do with it. I opened a new thread.
