====== Setting up GRUB 2 on install (without rebooting) ====== There is GRUB in A series of Slackware-14.1. If you want to install GRUB immediately after install (and before restarting), below is a simple method that assumes you use traditional BIOS and MBR partitioning (if you plan to use GPT instead of MBR partitioning, refer to [[howtos:slackware_admin:installing_with_gpt_without_uefi#grub_2|Grub 2 with GPT and a BIOS motherboard]] instead): After the message: "Installation of Slackware Linux is complete." chroot in: # chroot /mnt Then install GRUB: # grub-install /dev/sda # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg This assumes you are using the disk /dev/sd**a**, adjust if this is not the case. # exit # reboot Enjoy! P.S. Make sure to run: # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg After every kernel upgrade. ====== Sources ====== * Originally written by [[wiki:user:ryanpcmcquen | ryanpcmcquen]] * Link to GPT article by [[wiki:user:ruario|ruario]] {{tag>howtos grub author_ryanpcmcquen}}
