Your posts do not reflect a successful installation using GRUB2. Since GRUB2 does not have a menu.lst, I believe that you installed the legacy GRUB.097, or possibly Grub4Dos. I agree the legacy Grubs are easier to use than GRUB2 and are also much faster. You are correct that GRUB2 presently does recognize full installations, but not frugal installations.Varmint wrote:in part:
Actually, if you go up to my previous posts, you'll see how I did this. Ubuntu recognized my puppy install, but I didn't care for the way in which it handles it. I booted back into my puppy live cd and used that to install GRUB2. Then, while still using the live cd I edited the menu.lst file to say what I wanted (from puppy). The difference between my install and yours is that, for reasons I can't fathom, you installed FRUGAL, whereas I always install FULL on any hard disk. I found it much easier to edit my menu.lst files from puppy than from other distros, including unix.
For interested parties, there are a number of posts above that do reflect successful installations using GRUB2 along with hints on how to do it.
