How to install on a 2 hhd system, one being windows.

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.

Re: How to install on a 2 hhd system, one being windows.

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?

Re: How to install on a 2 hhd system, one being windows.

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

Re: How to install on a 2 hhd system, one being windows.

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

Re: How to install on a 2 hhd system, one being windows.

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.
