Which linux you are using ?..

If it is debian then you can do it using apt-get ie. online automatic update.

You will understand the following if you are using debian ...

Do..

Code: [Select]


apt-get install grub
grub-install /dev/hda
# Go edit/make a menu.lst file and put it in /boot/grub/menu.lst
grub
# then on the grub prompt run:

    # The partition that has the boot partition root (hd0,0) install /grub/stage1 (hd0) /grub/stage2 p /grub/menu.lst quit

For RPM supported distro..

Get the rpm (use search) and then.

Code: [Select]


$ rpm -ivh /grubrpmpath/grub-xx.xx.x.rpm


And installing from source ..

Code: [Select]


$ tar jxvf /pathway/grub.tar.bz2
or
$ tar zxvf /pathway/grub.tar.gz
$ cd /grub-0.9.5
$ ./configure && make install


and in last (you can also move to last step instead of this one[/code]

Code: [Select]

# The partition that has the boot partition root (hd0,0) install /grub/stage1 (hd0) /grub/stage2 p /grub/menu.lst quit

or simply instead of that..

Code: [Select]

grub-install /dev/hda
