You are now inside the /mnt/hda2/boot/grub/ folder. Type this into the box labelled "Goto" (do not omit the slash at the end): /mnt/hda2/boot/grub/ Start "Menu | Filesystem | ROX-Filer file filemanager".Ĭlick with the right mouse button and choose "Window | Enter Path" from the context menu. Start "Menu | Filesystem | Pmount mount/unmount drives" and click on the button "MOUNT" next to "/dev/hda2". More advanced users can skip ahead towhere menu.lst gets edited. For Linux newbies, I include detailed instructions onhow to find and open this file. You will find this file in the /boot/grubdirectory of the partition you installed the GRUB files to (/dev/hda2in our example). What remains to be done is toconfigure the GRUB boot loader so that Puppy Linux can be booted. In the next dialogue box, click the "No" button. Select the Master Boot Record "MBR" and click "OK". Now you have to specify where the GRUB boot loader itself should beinstalled to. These can only be written to a Linux file system partition.Thus, please type "/dev/hda2" - that is, the same partition to whichPuppy has just been installed. Now you have to specify where the GRUB boot loader should store itsfiles. In the next dialogue box, select "standard" and click "OK". Select "simple installation" and click "OK". The Puppy Installer can install GRUB as a boot loader foryou. If Windows was theonly operating system on your computer up to now, you do not have aboot loader. It enables you tospecify which operating system should be started up. The boot loader is the firstprogram executed after switching the computer on. Since you now have two operating systems on your computer (Windowsand Puppy Linux), you need a boot loader. The files will be copied from the CD to the hard drive. Since this chapter describes a Full installation, clickthe button labelled "FULL". You now have to decide whether you want a "Frugal" or a "Full"installation. If you have more than one hard drive, choose one.Ĭlick the button next to the partition that you want to install Puppy to.Ĭonfirm the next dialogue by clicking "OK".
I chose the internal hard drive forthis example. Select the mediumthat you want to install Puppy to. Start "Menu | Setup | Puppy universal installer". This kind of installation is a good idea if you haveless than 256 MB of memory.
