No Grub on puppy

[inherit2]

Hello

I have two primary partitions on my hard disk sda1 and sda2. On the first one I use windows, on sda2 I installed Puppy Linux – the latest release 528.

I chose FULL installation, because I have 80GB HDD. But to my surprise PL did not detect windows. I thought the CD would install grub and let me choose what system to choose after turning my computer on. I even tried changing active partition to sda2, but it didn’t help.

What am I supposed to do now? Shall I now install grub separately? But how?

My comp is: CPU 1.2GHz, RAM 1GB, HDD 80GB

Thanks in advance

PS
If I use 800x600 on my 14 inch monitor I can’t read a whole block of a text because there is not a scroler to use. A bottom part of a window is hidden because it doesn’t fit the screen.

Puppy Lucid should have two Legacy Grub installers ,
which both are scripts :

Code: Select all

grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/sda2 /dev/sda

which would not write a menu.lst file in /mnt/sda2/boot/grub
; so that would need to be done manually like

Code: Select all

echo "
title Windows
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

title Puppy 528.00X
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2
" >>/mnt/sda2/boot/grub/menu.lst

and

Code: Select all

grubconfig

with has lots of GUI ..
and should write a menu.lst for you ..
and later Lupu Puppies even popped the menu.lst in the texteditor iIrc ..
