This has probably been asked before and I just can't find the thread. So I will ask again. If I wanted to install an entry into grub that was already set up by another distro, what would I add to boot DSL from the Hard Drive? Grub I am familiar with but for some reason I always have a hard time getting something that is set up with lilo to boot with grub instead.

I have DSL installed. I found /boot/linux24 but I did not find anything else there except system.map-2.4.26 and system.map.
Would the initrd(minirt24.gz) be somewhere else or do I have to create it? Or is it just hidden.

What I do have is linux24(symbolic link) and miniroot in /? I will give that a try.

:angry:  Nothing I am doing is working. I am taking a break and trying again in a little while. There has to be a way of getting this to work the way I want it to.
