Hello and thanks to all who helped drag my old computer out of the closet and back into use! I really appreciate the help.
My DSL is a frugal lilo installation and I want to change to a grub loader. Like SU said I downloaded grub.dsl and clicked mydsl button and it installed. When I try to type;
grub-install /dev/hda
I get the following
root@ttyp0[dsl]# grub-install /dev/hda : Not found or not a block device.
tried same thing under dsl user and got same result.
When I type in grub the program loads and I get a grub> prompt. Then I try to type;
grub> root (hd0,0)
I get;
Error 21: Selected disk does not exist
checked some docs and tried e2fsck and still same error.
Thanks for a great distro and all your support!grub-install does not work for DSL. We do not include all the stuff it needs.
You have to do it the old-fashioned way.
I'm going to assume you understand grub's drive notation. If not, read the documentation on the grub website.
