HD Install :: Frugal Install and Persistence



Hi,

I'm trying to change my boot options persistently, but I seem to be losing the changes when I reboot.  Should I be editing /boot/grub/menu.lst or should I be making the changes somewhere else?

Thanks.
This has been answered many times.  That location is on /ramdisk and will not be saved or used.  Try /cdrom or if grub is not installed on the same partition as DSL, mount the media and check in /mnt/?d??

I don't know about being answered manytimes, but you can make your boot options presistent. I have done it.

Yes you edit grub menu.lst, Is this a single boot system?

I use DSL as a LiveCD enviorment installed on my HD using the tohd= and the fromhd=. But the grub I use is from another linux install and I just add my presistent boot options to it's menu.lst file.
