Panarchy Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Hello! I download Knoppix on another computer, couldn't burn it or put it on a usb. :( Gave me some error. Now I don't want to waste anymore of my DL limit, and need an OS which will install GRUB. Please help me chose! Thanks in advance, Panarchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted May 4, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted May 4, 2008 You could try grub4dos. Note: Before experimenting with it I would suggest reading the grub4dos tutorial lest you want to risk data loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Thanks, I'll give that a go. Hmm.. look a little to complex, is there an easier method? Hmm... I'm willing to download up to a CD (700MB) but don't suggest for me to use ubuntu, I tried that and couldn't boot from the cd :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted May 4, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 4, 2008 If you tried Ubuntu, but couldn't burn and boot... and tried Knoppix, but coudn't burn and boot... I think that the problem is your burn & boot. Not Knoppix or Ubuntu. What is your burn method? What app did you use, and what options to burn did you select?

tsupersonic Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Or perhaps he is using a really really old computer that can't boot from CD's or boot from USB, but that's highly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
