   Hello,

   Wanted to try GRUB2 tonight but grub-install returns /usr/sbin/grub-install: .: line 79: can't open '/usr/share/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib'.
   No grub-mkconfig_lib file in the description of the package in TazPanel.

   Try this:
   grub2-2.00.tazpkg

   Seems working, just have to build a new rootfs (I use a frugal install without persistence); unable to run grub-install /dev/sdb if /boot/grub was not present at boot.

   Thanks mojo.

   Well, no need to build a new rootfs; I gave a wrong path in the --boot-directory option :-/

   but now I cannot create my config file:
   root@slitaz:/home/tux# grub-mkconfig -o /media/sdb1-usb-USB_2.0_Flash_Di/boot/grub/grub.cfg
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of tmpfs.

   an idea? Thanks in advance.

   I installed grub2 and ran grub-mkconfig from cooking core live cd and got the same error as you.
   Maybe a patch or update will fix it.
   You may be able to modify /boot/grub/example-grub.cfg to work.

   Boot grub2 from command line.

   Hello mojo,

   Following your advises, I've been able to

   1. install GRUB2 on a USB stick
   2. boot SliTaz in frugal mode from the GRUB2 command line
   3. and automatically from a grub.cfg file made from the example-grub.cfg

   You are a King!

   The only problem I have now is that I cannot configure a french keyboard: curiously I don't have this problem when I boot from GRUB4DOS.

   GRUB2 is far to be so accessible than GRUB4DOS and the GRUB2 manual is not always really clear. Anyway, now I have bases I'm going to study it more in depth (not sure it is english but you'll probably understand what I mean).
   Thanks once more for your help.

   EDIT:

   The only problem I have now is that I cannot configure a french keyboard

   Forget it, I've once more done my traditional error:
   kmap=fr-latin instead kmap=fr-latin1
   ...
