I've done it once. IIRC, there was an "Advanced" screen somewhere that let me manually add an entry for Puppy.

wow sorry took a long time to find it,
I try to copy not used to this computer
name of file is menu.lst
placed in /mnt/home/NST/ which is made by installing the
NeoGrup Easy BCD program???=??? Don't remember I try to find forum if it exxists here http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD
# NeoSmart NeoGrub Bootloader Configuration File#
# This is the NeoGrub configuration file, and should be located at C:\NST\menu.lst
# Please see the EasyBCD Documentation for information on how to create/modify entries:
# http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD

default 0

timeout 10

color NORMAL


title lupu-528-004 processor.max_cstate=1 i915.modeset=1 nosmp rootnoverify (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/lupu-528-004/vmlinuz PMEDIA=idehd PDEV1=sda1 psubdir=lupu-528-004 pfix=fsck
initrd (hd0,0)/lupu-528-004/initrd.gz
I try to find the win vista also to show how Neosmart EasyBCD connect from that one. Where can I find that text?

on neosmart.net look for old thread by username newbody
and hopefully that describe how to get it going? unless
rcrsn51 knows how to
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Thanks for the help,

@rcrsn51
I must have missed the advanced option that allowed manual editing of the boot menu's entries.

@Nooby
I couldn't find the menu.1st file, but will double check.

I don't have access to the computer at the mo, but next time your ideas will come in handy. Also I won't try and watch Forest Gump at the same ; -)

Under "Add Entry", there should be an option for "Neo-GRUB". Use that to make a standard GRUB entry for your Puppy.

I found it here.
name of file is menu.lst
placed in

/mnt/home/NST/

Maybe that Dir only exists if one install the Neosmart program Neogrub
rcrsn51 maybe did it anotehr way. I failed to find how NST
linked to win vista start up. rcrsn51 maybe know?

Can pfind maybe find these files?

@darkcity: think of it as "menu dot list" and you'll see what the extension should be ;)
