Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi,

I have been trying to test EasyOS, but unfortunately I can't figure out how to write the bootloader entry for it. I already have a USB with a bunch of puppies, where I just copy the same entry and change the directory name accordingly, this approach does not work for easyos, I have managed to extract the .img file and copy the three files to a folder in the USB.

here is a working entry in my menu.lst file, and my attempt to write the entry for EasyOS:

# menu.lst produced by grub4dosconfig-v1.9.2
color blue/cyan yellow/blue white/black cyan/black
#splashimage=/splash.xpm
timeout 10
default 0

# Frugal installed Puppy



title F96CE4 (sdb1/f96ce4)
  find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /f96ce4/initrd.gz
  kernel /f96ce4/vmlinuz   psubdir=f96ce4 pmedia=usb pfix=fsck
  initrd /f96ce4/initrd.gz

title EasyOS (sdb1/easyos)
  find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /easyos/initrd.gz

That tutorial page needed updating, have just now revised and improved it:

There is an error in the Grub4dos entry, initially, I could not load the system, the tutorial includes the line

 find --set-root-uuid () 054a04b8-0f00-11ed-aeb9-287fcfeb4376

but you actually need to remove the - between root and uuid,

find --set-root uuid () 054a04b8-0f00-11ed-aeb9-287fcfeb4376
