Topic: [SOLVED] Include Grub on Live CD

Please consider re-including GRUB in the next live CD release.

It is a fairly small package and extremely handy to be able to use from a terminal window to install/restore MBR's, boot sectors, etc.

Thank you.

Sure.
Thanks for this suggestion.
Actually it's already in the testing branch:

0.3.9-7.

I will second or third it.  And I have a follow up request about how to build and where to put menu.lst  (grub.conf)

Re: [SOLVED] Include Grub on Live CD

GRUB is included on GParted Live as Steven Shiau mentioned.

See the GRUB documentation for how to build and where to put menu.lst.

Re: [SOLVED] Include Grub on Live CD

I am actually looking for increased functionality from gparted, to where I can signal that a specific partition is a boot partition.  That is, if I end up with 3 or 4 bootable partitions, I would like to be able to check the ones I chose, and have gparted, in conjunction with grub, make the menu.lst for me, and deposit it into a partition of choice.

Re: [SOLVED] Include Grub on Live CD

Please open a separate request.  The original request in this post was to include GRUB on the liveCD and this has been done.  smile
