title DSL
  kernel (hd0,1)/boot/isolinux/linux24 root=/dev/hda2 dsl frugal opt=hda3 home=hda3 vga=794 dma
  initrd (hd0,1)/boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz

to modify lilo.conf with a frugal installation.
Follow theese simple steps:
- make a standard frugal installation (that one with lilo...)
- start DSL
- download extension grub.dsl with mydsl
- download the frugal_grub.sh script from the "download" section of DSL site (download the scripd in the same dir of grub.dsl extension)
- run the rugal_grub.sh script (with the live-CD inserted)

As for a magic..... Grub is installed in 2 minuts!! And your files (old backups, home, etc) are saved thank's to the first frugal installation (the first step I supposed....)

Bye and a BIG thanks to the DSL developers for the great job they do for us!!
