"Once a bigboy Linux like Ubuntu or Mint has been installed, particularly on a UEFI system, it is often simpler to let its GRUB2 bootloader manage the entire boot process. The following instructions will vary with each distro.
Let's assume that your Puppy/Dog frugal installs are on partition sda5 and there is a menu.lst file at the start of that partition. Remember that Grub4Dos and Legacy GRUB number partitions starting at 0 while GRUB2 starts at 1.
Boot the bigboy Linux and locate the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom. Open it in a text editor as the root user. This will involve launching a terminal and running something like:
Code:
sudo gedit 40_custom
Add this code:
Code:
menuentry "Various Puppies on Partition sda5" {
set root=(hd0,5)
legacy_configfile /menu.lst
}
Now modify the Linux boot sequence to display a menu. Open the file /etc/default/grub as the root user.
At the top, add/modify lines like the following:
Code:
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
Run the command:
Code:
sudo update-grub
Do a cold reboot."
