Hi, everyone
I'm new here. I've had  Windows and Debian installed on hd. And I got tired, because it is a slow machine. So I decided to to make something good for it and asked my husband to install DSL instead of Windows. (I'm not an advanced user:()
So, now on the first partition I have DSL but I don't have a boot loader and I can't
use my Debian.

Can I install Grub now, after DSL is already installed?
And how should I do that ?

Thank you for your patience:).
Have a good day!

I'm sorry! There is a Grub. I guess I just need to add Debian, somehow.
Thank you!
Have a nice day:)

hi
maybe im a bit late and you already figure it out "somehow" yet?
anyway:
when boot into DSL...
just mount the partition that Debian was installed on
then view file in /boot/grub/menu.lst and copy the lines that trigger your debian boot up before

Yes.
I've made this already.
Thank you for helpin' me, anyway.
But now I'm back to Debian, because I could not make a dsl package from manpages-dev.deb
I read the "Howto" carefully and I made one, but I could not "install" that.
So, becuase I'm new in programming I went back to Debian .

Thank you for your time.
Have a nice day!
