Trouble installing Grub
Have an older HP Pavilion with Win98SE installed on the master 10 gig HDD, and Puppy installed on the second 6 gig slave HDD. What do I need to install Grub on this setup? I'm currently booting into Puppy using a floppy boot disk that I made while in Puppy. Plain English please, geek speak will just get me confused. Thanks.

So what exactly is your problem??
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html is your friend for starters, you'll find a lot you need to know there. Greets, Ben |

Install grub (It is in the puppy start up menu) and choose simple then choose install mbr. If you can’t boot after this. Insert a win98se floppy boot disk and type fdisk /mbr |
Just follow this to install grub ...

To make this clear we need a simple diagram to show the flow of startup.
Can anybody suggest where ? ie Switch on ->Bios values read->MBR record read?->next area read->next area read->Your own pup_save.3fs read->kde saved session read->kde Autostart read Is this something like how it goes? |
I am not exactly sure with any more detail that this ...
power -> bios -> grub -> and then whatever partition & files that you have pointed to in your grub conf file. you shouldn't need to more than that for most functions. |
