I want to install a linux distro on a partition of a disk. The system already has a running linux. What I currently do is copy the install kernel and the install initrd to my grub partition and add an entry to the menu.lst file. I **select** the install menu-entry for the first boot and the actual partition entry for the "second boot" of the installation procedure.
I tried experimenting with "default saved" and "savedefault <num>" and using "grub-set-default 1" to boot the install entry only once as documented in the grub manual, but not many distributions come with grub-set-default script. Some of the distributions don't even support "savedefault <num>" What is the most portable method to boot a GRUB entry only once? I am targeting RedHat and SuSE distributions for now. Thanks in advance. --Malahal. _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
