grub hard drive install problem
Installed puppy to hard drive, then ran grub. Says both installed. How do you add
title Puppy Linux 4.00 frugal rootnoverify (hd0,5) kernel /puppy400/vmlinuz pmedia=idehd psubdir=puppy400 initrd /puppy400/initrd.gz At the end of the menu.lst? |
open the file as superuser and add it
#cd /boot/grub #su #kedit menu.lst |
#cd/boot/grub
tried, it says theres no file or directory. I've mounted hda1 clicked boot then grub, menu.lst. opens in geany i think. tried to add at the end of file...
|
Or is it grub.conf?
what do you get from #ls /boot/grub ? Also this form should be ok. title Puppy Linux root (hd0,5) kernel /puppy400/vmlinuz pmedia=idehd psubdir=puppy400 initrd /puppy400/initrd.gz |

# superuser? typed #cd /boot/grub #Ls /boot/grub, still says no file or directory. At the top of menu.lst it says grub.config made

And Thanks for your help! I'm new to linux. Just made the switch from windows...

If I remember puppy will not install boot from hd as default but here is step by step directions.

You've got Puppy as (hd0,5), what's on the other partitions and did you install the Puppy Grub or are you trying to put it in the menu.lst of another distro's menu.lst?

Thank You for the step-by-step Larry. I had a clean hard drive and no other partitions(But 9.77 GB of 40GB) On the menu.lst it says root (hd0,0), I used the example for the rootnoverify (hd0,5) from puppylinux.com. When adding it at the bottom of the menu.lst I used (hd0,0).
