Frugal install to Microsoft Windows partition

Install Grub4dos.

This article will assume that your C: drive is (hd0,0). You need at least 160MB to run Slitaz cooking (128MB for Slitaz 1.0).

Tested with Windows XP on FAT32 and on NTFS.

For Windows XP, 2000 or NT, copy http://mirror.slitaz.org/boot/grldr into C:\ and append to C:\boot.ini:

C:\grldr="Grub4DOS"

Traditional frugal install

Copy http://mirror.slitaz.org/boot/cooking/bzImage and http://mirror.slitaz.org/boot/cooking/rootfs.gz (both <30MB) into C:\boot and append to C:\menu.lst (create it) the following text:

title SliTaz cooking

  kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage rw root=/dev/null vga=normal

  initrd (hd0,0)/boot/rootfs.gz

Works fine with Windows XP on FAT32 and on NTFS.
