right i've being trying to add Vector Linux to an existing GRUB bootloader (i advised Willz) but i thought i'd better at least try it, i haven't booted it yet, i would like you HWF gods to look at my menu.list first my setup on HDD0: hda1 = Kubuntu / hda2 = Mandriva / hda3 = /swap (for kubuntu & Mandy) hda4 = /home (for kubuntu & Mandy) HDD1: hdb1 = Vector / hdb2 = /home (for Vector) hdb4 = /swap (for Vector) is this the correct addition to menu.list ? Code: title = Vector (hdb1) root = (hd1,0) kernel = /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1 resume=/dev/hdb1 splash=silent initrd = /boot/initrd.img savedefault boot heres Vectors /boot BTW: i installed Vector to hdb1 (without bootloader) and now want to add Vector to my pre-existing GRUB
Looks right from where I sit. Just an FYI, but in the future keep in mind that Linux distros can actually share a swap partition, so you don't need to create one for each.
yeah i know, just want to it KISS for my first distro add into GRUB, and you get better performance by having a /swap on each HDD thankies, will try it
No that does not look right to me. Where is reads: "root = (hd1,1)" I think it should be "root = (hd1,0)" since the Vector root partition is "hdb1". Edit: I was trying to hurry the reply since you were about to try it, I think I was too late.
is that better no probs, i've learnt the hard way about the delay in replying, i now wait a few mins before trying something, thankies :beer: - to all
well Vector didn't boot, i think i've got a typo, GRUB gave error 15: file not found anyways i'm stopping for tonight, try and relax a bit, or i'll be trying to fix it in my sleep, just need time to get my computer head off, kinda like worzel gummage (old kids TV programme) bye for now :hi2:
found the typos, VL now up & running, i would prefer KDE but i guess i'll try Xfce 4.2, if i decide i don't like it, i'll just throw KDE at it
