Rate this Message:
Hi Guys,
I am in the midst of installing Puppy on my dedicated jOrgan-ACO system as a "frugal" install. Is this OK or should I do the full install? -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

I clicked to show hidden files. Doesn't seem to be a boot directory, either. If I don't do what they want here it isn't going to boot. This is Puppy 4.3.0. 4.2.1 didn't get this far. 4.0 installed by itself with no problems, go figure. Same machine, except that I took it out of the case and installed it in the console. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

There is a discussion about it here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=47378&start=15&sid=e7af2eecdda3bd83b87b6e1235949094 The guy solved it by: "I booted from the CD with pfix=ram so it wouldn't mount the hard drive, checked the integrity and flags and all that of my sda1 partition. Then I edited menu.lst the way aarf suggested, with hd0,0 and removing the pmedia=idehd, and I commented out the section for sda2 (so if I ever want it I can just uncomment it), and saved and did a reboot. I only have one entry in grub now, but it loaded just fine." The 430 setup tells you to look for "menu.lst in /boot in the partition where grub is installed" but it looks like grub isn't installed. Now version 4.0 installed all this automagically with no input from me. However, I did do the full install with 4.0. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Hi Pete,
Boot from the CD with the pfix=ram option, then in the menu select System > Grub - bootloader config (this is in 4.2.1, I expect 4.3.0 is the same). Then follow the default options to install Grub. Hope this helps, GrahamG ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Then follow the default options to install Grub. Hi Graham, I am booted that way, do I have to re-boot? If I do, should I save the file or not? -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Hi Pete, no need to re-boot if you're already running Puppy. You don't
have to save the file, but I'd suggest that you do so that you won't need to re-configure the keyboards, mouse, screen, etc on the next reboot GrahamG ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Bugger. It is rebooting now. Once up, where is the "Install Grub" program to be found. I was looking all over and never found it. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Have to re-boot and save the file, or so the error message said. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
