Use id 83 for root partition and id 82 for swap. You don't need a bootpartition for grml. Let's assume /dev/hda1 is your swap partition. You want to install grml on /dev/hda2 and you don't have any other system on your disk. Just run: # grml2hd /dev/hda2 -mbr /dev/hda This will install grml on /dev/hda2 and write master boot record into /dev/hda. If you don't provide the '-mbr' option grml won't touch the master boot record but will write lilo into /dev/hda2 instead. More details are available in the manpage (an online version is available on http://grml.org/grml2hd/grml2hd.html). HTH && regards, -mika- -- ,'"`. http://www.michael-prokop.at/ ( grml.org -?
