Installing Puppy on second drive
I am not technically "new to linux", but have been using Linspire and Freespire for a couple of years. I am now trying to install Puppy Linux on my #2 drive and have Freespire 2.0.3 and Freespire 1.0.13 on my #1 drive.
I am here because I was on a Puppy Linux site and that site seems to have gone down so I am grasping at straws to get information. The problem I am having is that when Puppy installs it wants to take over my Grub Menu on drive #1 and garbage it up. Its done it once already and it took two days to recover from it. So I am real hesitant about trying again till I get more information on Puppy install. |
Can't you tell puppy to put its boot-loader in its own root partition?
And then just manually add it to your existing grub menu as chainloaded? Cheers, Tink |

Got it done. Used SuperGrub CD to reset everything then cut and pasted till it worked. I still dont know why the boot starts with the menu.lst in the 4th partition on hd0 instead of with an earlier partition, such as partition #3 which also has a menu.lst on it. But I dont carte now as long as its working. It just made it hard to find which copy of menu-normal.lst it was using because I was expecting it to be the first Linux partition which is #3, not #4 I kept modifying the wrong menu-normal,lst and jiffyboot kept undoing everything I was doing until I disabled it.
