I am attempting to install Puppy ver 2.17 on it. The initial install went perfectly (I am beginning to really love linux)
Except for the GRUB Boot loader(?).
The installer recommends that I install the Grub thing to MBR instead of /dev/hdc1.

I have tried both but neither work. I cannot install to either.

At this point I still have to use my cd drive. I want to fully install puppy on my computer and have it load w/o needing the live cd.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Sincerely,
Gibsongirl

if you don't have windows installed on it, don't use grub.

Any error messages ???.

Haven't tried the latest Puppy so don't know why grub is having a problem. but see if the http://forjamari.linex.org/projects/supergrub/ fixes your boot problem
