Grub is kicking my butt. I've used the frugal_grub script and booted off the grub floppy and tried to install the MBR. Didn't work, it give me an error. Sorry, don't have it written down. The PC still boots into LILO. The WIKI has me confused as it has a lot of stuff for a system that doesn't boot. Do I need all of that? I've tried the part (starts with enter TITLE DSL..), but the grub command interface doesn't like that. Seems that this noob may be stuck with LILO and no myDSL extensions. I can't seem to get the big picture feel for what I'm doing. I know that the script added a boot folder to /dev/hda1 that contains a grub folder and some files in it. Sorry for the dumb*ss post.OK,
In case anyone can help. When I'm at the grub prompt, the command
Code Sample
kernel /boot/isolinux/linux24 root=/dev/hda1
is rejected with ERROR 15 FILE NOT FOUND. Here's what I did (warts and all)
Booted up on frugal install and used myDSL to run frugal_grub script. Booted on CD and then ran /usr/sbin/grub-install /dev/hda1 - This is rejected with an error referring to cloop. Then booted on grub floppy and tried to enter
Code Sample
title DSL root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/isolinux24 root=/dev/hda1
I meant
Code Sample
kernel /boot/isolinux/linux24 root=/dev/hda1
Superlou, can you tell me how to use an exsisting grub with frugal install and not install lilo? I don't want to harm my dual boot Win98/MepisLinux/Grub. I know how to change menu.lst but I don't know DSLscript to use. Thanks, for any help!When you ran the frugal_grub.sh script and it asked if you wanted to format did you enter yes? When I did it I just booted with a cd, ran /usr/sbin/frugal_grub.sh and entered yes when asked if I wanted to install and format the partition and worked fine for me.Next Page...
