Hi :)
It was really nice to use Grub1 again but can SliTaz boot straight from Grub2? I have a triple-boot system with Ubuntu and Windows on a public machine ata work. One of our people has sliTaz at home so i took the opportunity to install it here too :) It's beautiful! :) Unfortunately it seems that Ubuntu can't boot from grub1 and sliTaz doesn't seem able to boot from Grub2! :(
Can Grub2 chainload into grub1 or the other way around or something?
Regards from
Tom :)

Yes, it can. Both ways! I have no machine with Grub2 here at the moment. Like I remember you call from Grub1 like
> root (hd0,1)
> kernel /boot/core.img
return
and then the Grub2 installation starts - and you select there the installation on /dev/sda2 or /hda2.
if you start Grub2 it will show as well installations done with Grub1 and start them.
What I did not learn yet is the syntax of this Grub2-file in order to manually change it in a text editor.

Grub Legacy, Grub2, Grub4dos...
At this time I using grldr from grub4dos on my netbook with multiple boot: windows xp, linux mint and several frugal mini-linuxes.
I boot LinuxMint (Ubuntu based) not with Grub2 as designed, but with Grub4dos. There is my lines in menu.lst:
title LinuxMint 11
rootnoverify (hd0,5)
kernel (hd0,5)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic root=/dev/sda6 ro gfxpayload=800x600x24,800x600 quiet splash pcie_aspm=force elevator=deadline
initrd (hd0,5)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic
I think, you can too make triple boot with grub4dos or grub legacy.
