Can anybody help me setting GRUB up to offer both MEPIS (HDB) and DSL (HDA)

The boot is currently on hdb with grub:

timeout 15
color cyan/blue white/blue
foreground ffffff
background 0639a1

gfxmenu /boot/grub/message

title MEPIS at hdb1, kernel 2.6.15-1-586tsc
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1-586tsc root=/dev/hdb1 nomce quiet vga=791

title MEMTEST
kernel /boot/memtest86.bin

Thanks.

Look in the wiki on DSL and GRUB. ( i.e. < http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_Grub > )

All you have to do is add the corresponding DSL entry (how you installed DSL) to your current menu.lst (or similar).

Since DSL is on hda, you won't have to change anything else.

Here's the best help for grub that one could ask for.

It's the Grub Manuel, quite easy reading and understanding. Bookmarking it is a good idea. I had to search several times with google before I bookmarked it. I find I use it quit often to reference.
