Puppy recommended Grub2 text
Posted: Sat Oct 03, 2020 9:52 am
I'm enjoying the new Fossapup as well as the Bionicpup.
I did a frugal install of both and each time was presented with a recommended Grub (legacy) text.
After some tweaking this is the final script that worked for me in Grub2
this was pasted into the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file, via Geany, then, in the OS that owns the Grub2 installation, opened a terminal and ran sudo update-grub. Did the same for Bionicpup, with changes to the frugal install directory name. All works nicely.
Don't forget to run blkid in a terminal to find the correct uuid for the disk partition where your Puppy is located, then replace 27d9131c-fb41-4b71-9203-a345b7be26c2 with the correct one.
Many thanks to the Puppy team. Your OS versions are a pleasure to work with.
