(SOLVED) How to install grub from live cd?

Post by jondoe »

Sorry i'm newbie. I try to install Salix from Live CD, using Salix Installer.
At the end of installation, it ask me if i want to install Lilo or not. I choose not, because i want to using grub2.

I try to read Salix installation manual, but i didn't find how to install grub.
Anyone can help me to install grub, so i can access Salix that already installed on my harddrive?


Thanks a lot

Do you have Grub already installed on your computer? Do you have another distro installed that is listed on Grub? Just wondering if you need to install Grub or just need to add Salix to the menu.

I just have winblows and Salix installed on my notebook. But because i didn't install grub or lilo after install salix os, my notebook just booting to winblows.

I already try to use grub-install from salix live cd, but it show "command not found".

What i've to do now?... need your help...

From a SalixLive CD session, use gslapt, refresh the repo mirror, & then install grub2.

or else in a terminal:

Code: Select all

su
slapt-get -u
slapt-get -i grub2
Then you can use grub from the livecd session to install your bootloader.

What really matters is where you are going, not where you come from.
