Salix Forums

Am wondering : no reaction after such a long time. It means nobody has ever done a poor man's install of Salixlive.
So again

What should be the grub entry for grub1 (menu.lst) and the one for grub2 (grub.cfg)?

Thank you for attention.

It might just mean that nobody has used grub1/2 for that.

I used grub legacy to multi-boot OSes
and the stanza for booting Salix 13.1 (not SalixLive) is in my post earlier

So using chainloading, grub legency's stanza for booting Salix is very simple:
title Salix 13.1 Chainload to sda8
root (hd0,7)
chainloader +1

For now I am learning the 'poor-man install', that is directly boot iso from hard disk.
I had success today on some other distros.
May be someday I would try out Salix to boot from Hard Disk also to save DVD/CD

Maybe you are right.

But times may have changed. Feel very few people (even those who like Slackware) still stick to lilo. More and more people are using grub nowadays. The ongoing discussion is : grub1 or grub2?

Kindly note even salixlive has switched to grub2 for installation an usb-stick.

Thank you for reaction.

That's OK if you have installed several linuxes or even BSD or MS on the same hard disk.

Yes, that's - in my eyes - the best way to use Salixlive : boot the iso from hardisk or usb-stick. In the past all went well with the previous Salix versions up to Salix 3.1 test.
Am sure 'poor man's install' will still work. Am searching for the right grub entries ...

Ok, I manage to do a poorman install on the latest Salix kde-beta4 LiveCD.
Kind of nice, boot very fast.. Save one more DVD.
Been seeing a lot of DVD/CD stack up and now better do more boot iso directly from hard disk.

Nice! Kindly tell me how. Are you using grub as well?

Thought that salix-kde-13.1.1-beta4.iso is is an installation CD not a LiveCD ...

If I understand you well, you were able to copy the salix-kde-13.1.1-beta4.iso to an hard disk and were able to boot it from the hard disk. That's very nice.

My aim is to put the salixLiveCD iso's (xfce / lxde) on an hard disk or usb-stick and run them from there. That's why I need a workable grub entry.
