my problem is.
have a fat16 1 Gig usb stick with puppy on it.
on an easynote that supports booting from usb it works perfectly.
but i have an older compaq destop that does not support booting an usb device.
so my idea was, give grub in its menu that is placed on the HD an entry to boot from this usb stick when it is pluged in.
this is how i have the menu.lst now and this gives me the error parsing number
