Booting into 2.13 straight in frugal install

[Canadianpride]

Hi there.
I'm setting up a computer for a family in my community. I'm going to do a frugal install of puppy 2.13 and I'd like it to boot straight to it. As in you turn on the computer.... puppy does it's thing and there you go. Can I do this with grub somehow?

Thanks.
Matthew.

yes you can just add

Code: Select all

timeout=0

to the file /boot/grub/menu.1st

then figure out what the partition you are booting is and comment out

Code: Select all

# some line commented out

every other partition.

# Start GRUB global section
#timeout=0
color light-gray/blue black/light-gray
# End GRUB global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
title Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0
initrd /boot/initrd.gz
# Linux bootable partition config ends

That's my menu.1st file. For some reason that isn't working. Any ideas?


Thanks!

Remove the # sign in front of your line for timeout=0.

Have you named your file MENU.LST or MENU.1ST? The correct name has an "ell", not a "one".

if it's not booting, make sure that vmlinuz & initrd.gz are located in /boot.

Lol...... I realized that I had forgotten to uncomment the timeout=0 right after I posted here. It's working great now.
Thank you very much who posted here.
