Ok, here it is. I been useing mepis for a lil while now.
Wanted to try something a lil different,but didnt want to wipe out my mepis install.

I went ahead and made a couple of linux partitions.
I installed dsl to /dev/hda2,as far as i know it installed just fine.
I can mount hda2 in mepis and there is a knoppix folder in that dev.
I am really wanting to run a dual boot,but am not sure of the kernal version and how i would add dsl to my grub.conf file.
Here is my partition scheme.

/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devmode=0666 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
# Dynamic entries
/dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap sw,pri=1 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,users,dev,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,users,dev,ro 0 0
If some1 could possibly show me how exactly i would add /dev/hda2 to my grub.conf file i would be very greatfull.
Kinda need line for line.

Thanx in advance
the frog.
