Cant boot Pclinuxs OS after Linux Mint Installed
« on: July 16, 2011, 12:12:20 PM »
Hi, i have try installed E17 desktop version and sucessfull.
The issue is upon completion of Linux Mint installtion,
I cant get E17 in grub selection.

How and what the best ways to have e17 shows in Mint grub ?
Or do i need to install Linux Mint 10 first and then only E17?

There are option of grub loader at the installation, which one do i need to choose for multiple OS installtion and booting option?

Thanks

Boot the E17 liveCD and run the Redo MBR app.

Of what use be there for joy, if not for the sharing thereof?

If you want Mint's GRUB 2 you have to do minor edit in a certain file. There are plenty threads about it here http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/board,16.0.html

If you run RedoMBR you will be presented with PCLOS GRUB menu and this is the better way from my point of view.

+1.

Particularly it's way less complicated, for the time being. :)

Thank guys,

I shall try the Redo MBR as i found that E17  PCLinuxs Grub is the best and attractive so far.
Mint is quiet standard compare to E17.

Thanks guys ,

That what we are proud of FOSS.
