Edit Summary: [Installing a boot loader] - Issues with GRUB-legacy and possibly
GRUB4DOS as well

* Use GRUB-legacy for ext* file systems.
* Use syslinux when installing on FAT* file systems. Should work with ext* file systems as well (using extlinux), if you don't want GRUB-legacy.
* Use GRUB4DOS when dealing with an NTFS file system (say, you're trying to turn an existing Windows XP installation into a ThinClient).
* read section [[doc:howto:tce#boot_parameters_for_x2go-tce|Boot Parameters for X2Go-TCE]]
to find out what changes to make and what to put where it says FURTHER-OPTIONS-GO-HERE

+ <note important>
+ Note that GRUB-legacy (and possibly GRUB4DOS as well) has a limit of 256
characters for /proc/cmdline.
+ Current syslinux implementations double that value to 512 characters.
+ So if you're seeing issues like X2Go-TCE hanging at boot when it comes to downloading config files, or certain parameters being ignored, when
you specify a lot of and/or long parameters, you can either go ahead and shorten file names and paths (e.g. use "vml" instead of
"x2go-tce-vmlinuz" and "<nowiki>http://host/</nowiki>" instead of
"<nowiki>http://host.example.com/</nowiki>", or switch to a different bootloader.

=== Installing GRUB-legacy ===
* mount /dev/targetpartition to (mountpath)
* create a folder ''(mountpath)/boot/grub''
* install grub-legacy into it:
