tinyme grub

[larry56]

hi all,
im switching from ubuntu 9.10 to some other linux system. at the moment im trying to install tinyme 2008 but when its installed, tinyme is the only system i can boot to. no grub to pick between ubuntu or tinyme. (im installing default)
what am i doing wrong during tinyme install?

Hello Larry,

You need to edit the boot/grub/menu.lst file to show your other OSes.  The mp (mp-5 command at terminal) or abiword can be used to edit the menu.lst file to show all OSes you want to boot.

Good Luck,

hi j_75080,
i dont quite understand mp-5 command at terminal (using sakura) although i have used terminal in ubuntu to do many things.
is there a link with step by step instructions?
thanks for your time/help.

Larry,

I would strongly recommend you do not bother with TinyMe 2008. It would be better for you to use the latest TinyMe 2010 beta. TinyMe 2010 will pick up Ubuntu for you.

hi KDulcimer,
i think ill take your advice and thanks;-).
i googled and there are several sites to d/l the beta, which would you suggest?
thanks,

hi KDulcimer,
thanks for the link but i have no internet connection, yes i know its beta;-), so ill wait for the public release. 2010 does recognize the 2 other systems on one of my portable hds and i thank you for that.
i do like 2010 but i like 2008 also...................what can i say. ill keep both and decide later;-).
thanks again,
L
