HD Install :: Files in HD and DSL in the RAM



No, only copy the files from /usr/lib/grub.., not the full directory structure.

Usually all older windows machines have only one partition, but if yours if different, try writing it as "root(hd" and press tab. It'll list all your hd's and partitions, then look which seems to be the right one.
..oops, should've said setup(hd0,0), as comps count from 0.. That's what you get when tired :P

Another doubt. How Grub knows that I want to run Windows or DSL?
That's what the boot configuration file, menu.lst is for..

it doesn't need to know you want DSL in ram, only DSL needs that info ;)
so add "toram" to the line of DSL bootcodes..

Impossible to me! I try a lot but I have no knowledment to do ii. But I'm very happy with DSL. I tested this system and I could see how fantastic it is. DSL resuscitate olds CDRW when I set it up to write 1x and everything work fine.
Oops, another typo. Here's one that should work:

Quote
sudo su
grub
root(hd0,0)
setup(hd0)
quit

in case this doesn't work either, when in grub type "root(hd" and press tab twice, it'll list all your hd's and partitions :)
