   Hello I ran slitaz 4.0 livecd once and then it would not boot into it again. So I have 3.0
   running now. My question is I have two hhd's.
   1. has windows on it.
   2. The other is a 1 tb hhd sata.
   I want to install it on the sata 1tb.
   How to partion it to install it on that one. I think one is ext3 I think.

   Can some one tell me the numbers for ext3 and the swap and all?

   Ikinda like this here slitaz. All other linux did it for me.

   #
   title windows 7
   rootnoverify (hda1,0)
   /dev/hda1
   makeactive
   chainloader +1

   That is how I got it to work.

   Now I can't get the 1 to stay in the /boot/grub/ menu.lst:
   # /boot/grub/menu.lst: GRUB boot loader configuration.
   #

   # By default, boot the first entry.
   default 0 # new

   # Boot automatically after 8 secs.
   timeout 1

   # Graphical splash image.
   splashimage=/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

   # Change the colors.
   #color yellow/brown light-green/black

   # For booting SliTaz from : /dev/sda1
   #
   title ooseven
   root (hd0,0)
   kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37-slitaz root=/dev/sda1 quiet

   #For booting Windows7 :/dev/sdb1
   #
   title 7
   rootnoverify (hda1,0)
   /dev/hda1
   makeactive
   chainloader +

   And when it does it looks like this:
   # For booting SliTaz from : /dev/sda1
   #
   title ooseven
   root (hd0,0)
   kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37-slitaz root=/dev/sda1 quiet

   #For booting Windows7 :/dev/sdb1
   #
   title 7
   rootnoverify (hda1,0)
   /dev/hda1
   makeactive
   chainloader +1
   %0
   I never had this problem before.
   I tried to go into the boot menu in my terminal but
   when I do this it says:
   ooseven@slitaz:~$su
   password
   root@slitaz:/home?ooseven#/boot/grub/menu.lst file
   sh: /boot/grub/menu.lst: Permission denied.

   What is up with that?

   open terminal type su
   enter your pass
   then type
   pcmanfm
   go to your /boot/grub directory
   right click menu.lst choose open with leafpad
   now you can edit the file

   That is how I did it

   Need help with dual booting slitaz 4.0 and Cooking.
   I would like to make cooking to be my os maybe. Just
   have to iron on some bugs. So how do I nano /boot/grub
   /menu.lst file to make this happen.
   I have it like this:

   title SliTaz
   root (hd0,0)
   kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37-slitaz root=/dev/sda1 quiet
   #For booting cooking
   #
   Entry 1

   title Cooking
   root (hda1,0)
   /dev/hda1
   makeactive
   chainloader +1

   not sure what you are trying to do.
   for cooking you should have a similar entry as for regulat slitaz
   except you should adress the correct partition

   ie eg, i think it should be

   title Cooking
   root (hda1,0)
   /dev/hda1
   kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37-slitaz root=/dev/sdb1 quiet

   provided, this is the boot cooking installed on first partition sdb1 of the second disk (hd1,0) (regular 4.0 being on the first partition sda1 of the first disk ie (hd0,0)

   some trial error likely required.
