HD Install :: Grub Help



I'll give it a go.

I'm just preparing for the install.
Would'nt it be possible just to use the frugal_grub script?

Partitioning:
hda1: linux
hda2: linux swap
hda3: winxp

I will install xp and see if I am able to pick up xp from grub's chainloader.

Thanks for you help

It works fine!

DSL frugal/grub installed just fine.

The only annoyance is that I have to boot the LiveCD in order to edit my grub configuration. But I can easily live with that.


Thanks

You shouldn't have to do that.  If you boot with the frugal option, you should be able to edit /cdrom/boot/grub/menu.lst.

You should also be able to temporarily edit grub entries by selecting an entry at boot time, and pressing "e" to edit
menu.lst in your /boot/grub directory may be RO in a frugal install. Open Beaver as root in the terminal and then open the menu.lst to edit as root.
@doobit:

Just checked: You are right!
What have I been thinking, the directory is only manipulateable by root so naturally user dsl has insufficient rights.

Now I'll be on my way and customizing my grub configuration to optimum performance.

Thanks for your input!
