And what DVD is ready and waiting !
That's a whole lot shorter than the way I've been doing it with grub 2
which is:
Using 2.4/2.5/2.6/2.7 livedvd
Here assuming the Ultimate Edition partition is sda8, and /boot partition is sda6 (if you have a separate /boot partition).
Boot up Ultimate Edition from the livedvd, open terminal and run:
- Code: Select all
sudo -i
To find out you partitions run
- Code: Select all
fdisk -l
Use that info for the following
- Code: Select all
mount /dev/sda8 /mnt
- Code: Select all
mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/boot #skip this one if you don't have a separate /boot partition
You'll want to install grub to the drive that is first in the boot order in the BIOS
- Code: Select all
grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda
Reboot removing the livedvd in the process and once you're back in Ultimate Edition run
- Code: Select all
sudo update-grub
