bvc Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 cool! I'm curious though why you took out the grub-install section? Isn't that the easiest? Works for me. though I did have to use the grub shell when it didn't once. Why not both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aus9 Posted December 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 (edited) bvc 2 reasons firstly I had bloat hitting 25000 characters so had to be Ruthless as in the movie ruthless people if you have seen it but as you will see I also culled lots of other stuff such as secret menu entries and grub-install altho works for you I too found the grub in terminal always was more informative ie if I made a typo it tended to produce an error and eg root (hd0,0) .....setup (hd0) gave me an output including the last line of succeeded which has always gave me a warm glow. btw I have counted my last effort but as I moved some stuff back to links I am no longer concerned with bloat (2) A more important cull was I deliberately culled the absolute pathway alternative....I wanted users to fix in their mind that even if they used a splashimage the root way was the way to go absolute kernel (hd0,2) /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda5 ro etc initrd (hd0,2) /boot/initrd.img root way root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda5 ro etc initrd /boot/initrd.img and you just define root b4 naming the splashimage file cheerio Edited December 31, 2004 by aus9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
