Great instructions...

I am looking for this specific version of Grub - grub-0.97-splash.. as it goes with the version of TC installed onto the harddrive.

Can anybody help me with this?   It's not on https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-download.html  I guess that if

worse comes to worse, I will have to compile the source code. I'm not sure if that can be done on a live.iso session though... being that

it's so compact. 

Thanks for any help.

Can you explain a little better why you need this old version?

this is from TCL 5.x

all the older versions have been relocated but you might find what you are looking for here:
