HD Install :: Frugal & XP Dual Boot

I'm reviving this thread now that 1.3 is out and you have a frugal grub install.

Roberts,
Would you say the new frugal install is *safe* to use on a machine that has XP Pro installed on hda1?

Will the result automatically set up a dual boot option?

My current setup has hda2=swap, hda3=frugal, hda4=backup/optional/etc. Currently booting from livecd and then doing a fromhd=/dev/hda3 but I want to get away from that if I can.

Thanks in advance for any insights.....

BTW....1.3 looks (and runs) really nice...

Yes. My test machine has Windows XP Pro on hda1 and frugal grub worked fine.

It worked *perfectly* <wipes sweat from brow>

Much thanks.

Thanks for posting the follow-up and that all is well!

Folks, frugal_grub for multi OS hard drive frugal installs.

The original frugal_install, i.e., frugal_lilo is OK for Compact Flash or other dedicated "appliance" type systems.
