Hi guys:
I have just completed another frugal install using grub and it gives me error code 15. "can't find file"

I did some messing around in the grub command line and discovered that it says this because it can't find the "linux24" kernel.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

thanx -Gough

Look into /boot/grub/menu.lst in the root of your boot drive
Here you can point grub to the kernel. For example, if it is on hda2 the kernel line would be something like this:
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda2 dsl frugal

Sometimes... and I don't know why...

This format works better for me in grub..

root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/linux24 quiet noacpi noapm noscsi dma toram frugal base norestore
initrd /boot/minirt24.gz

Make SURE the files linux24 and minirt24.gz are in /mnt/hda2/boot,
and not /mnt/hda2/boot/isolinux ..
