Install guide - sectio 6 Grub

[littleme]

Hi,

  Thought that I would install core 3. I used to use an older version.

The guide on : http://www.tinycorelinux.com/install.html#6_Installing_GRUB
instructs one to do this:
      cp -p /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/* /mnt/hda1/boot/grub/

Sadly, these files do not exist any more.  Seems a little odd since I had to boot somehow from the ISO.

Code: [Select]


root@box:/# find / | grep grub
root@box:/# df .
Filesystem         1K-blocks    Used Available Use%  Mounted on
tmpfs                   229508  17408 212100    8%  /

Any clues.

Not odd at all. A look at the CD or mounted .iso would show that isolinux is used as bootloader.

In the same way you say "sadly", I could say "fortunately" as I'd prefer different bootloaders and have never had a need for grub with TC.
I'd guess it's more a matter of free choice of user not to include a specific bootloader in base, when there is a choice between several Linux bootloaders to achieve the same goal.

I did try this at the start, but it cannot find the mirror.  This is because I have tell it to use our proxy.  Usually, I add this to the environment:  export http_proxy=http://our_proxy:9090
Where can I add this for the AppBrowser to pick it up?
