But as regular users in this forum has attested that creates a new such grub4dos along with their earlier such. And that is not what I want.
So my way was the easiest for somebody already having a well working grub4dos with many entries and well integrated with Win7Starter too.

I had left out the step to also loadpack /tmp/ntfs-3g.gz which enables write access to NTFS so that the copy and edits can be completed.
Updated existing grub4dos instructions:

This part of the OP post can be due to my sloppy English and confused mind. I tried to explain but your thought my explanation was part of the request. It was not. I just wanted RC2 to work as any other fural bootable linux distro do. One just add the needed menu.lst and it just works. Nothing fancy is required at all. Even I that usually fail with almost everything can do such in a few minutes manually.

remix or remaster.
The automated script is not trying to support complex exiting grub4dos with Puppy or remixes.

That part will be misleading to any newbie having no idea what you talk about.
I apology that my lack of fine tuning in how to express myself in a foreign language did mislead you.
I have now almost everything working with the official TCL so no need for remixes for me and no request that your rc2 should take any precautions to such either.
I would prefer that you edit that one out from that post. It fills no function and only is misleading.
roberts:
Glad to hear that it is working with official Tiny Core.
Hopefully Guy, Rich, jur or some of our other documentation contributors will be able to update/create specific wiki pages for specific starter packs that newbies can understand.
Programmer types such as myself are not the best to provide documentation.
Besides I already have a new programming challenge that I wish to tackle to further improve Core.
newbody:
Yes give priority to that one.
I am very poor at description but if none else give it a try I will within fourtnight? or three weeks or so try to retell how I did the current install for people who have my set up with Netbook that has no CD but working USB slots that I made use of for USB keyboard and USB mouse and a USB memory to make the install a super simple thing once one knew how to.
one way to make it easy would be to have the ntfs-3g.gz as a separate download on the repo so one could take it down to the usb memory. Then one nead not start any loadpack and try to figure out what that is and how to find where the files are.
Thanks for not giving up on me despite my confusing language.
