Good to know - I will bring a mactel home this weekend for us to use to
get working on the usb boot! (promise)

Hi,

would be nice to sort this out,
yes this is very high priority - i will start to have a look at it tomorrow.
back from makeart and from the feedback we got there I would say the three most
importan priorities are:
ntfs - grub setup
usb boot on macintel
select language on boot
laters

scott: as a workaround you can use the live cd to boot the operating
system from the live folder you have dropped into the root of your
windows drive. then you can eject the cd - the cd just acts as a
something to tell the system to find the live folder on your drive. if
you dont have a partition to use as "persistance mode" you can fomat a
usbstick to ext2 with gparted and label it live-rw. reboot your computer
with both usb and cd in drive and your live folder on the windows drive.
i have tested it and it works fine if you find your self with a single
ntfs partition that you cant make space on. temporary fix -
sorry about this bug - us p:ders are a little short on ntfs partitions
to test on ;)
cheers

so testers are more than welcome, I will too if I get time and access
to a win box

I didnt have any luck installing on that computer although Scott Cazan
said :
Hello all,
I was wondering if someone could help me out with this problem. I'm
trying to get a dual boot Windows/Linux install and am following the
instructions:
sudo su
mkdir /media/hda1/boot
grub-install --root-directory=/media/sda1 /dev/sda
cp /live/image/extra/grub/menu.lst /media/sda1/boot/grub
but get an error almost every step of the way (except the first).
Here are my steps and errors:
I get "cannot create directory '/media/hda1/boot': No such file or
directory" so I make the hda1 directory under /media/ then create the
boot directory under that to be able to move on.
Then "grub-install --root-directory=/media/sda1 /dev/sda" gives me
"error: cannot find a device for /media/sda1. error: cannot find a
device for /media/sda1/boot/."
Alternatively I tried this:
Since my hard drive is sda1 (not hda1) I tried creating the boot
directory under /media/sda1/ but that doesn't work either.
And a last bit of info. My windows C:\ is on an NTFS partition and
after copying the live folder into the C:\ root and booting Pure:Dyne
I can't get a directory listing on /dev/sda1. I can, however, see that
file system under /live/image/. Don't know if that matters.
Anyone know whats going on here? I'm just trying to install grub
basically. I'm using the latest leek & potato release (tried miso as
well).
Thanks!
Scott
