grub2 on nemesis

Just to know, as anyone used nemesis with an installed grub2 package? I have the impression that this would be a great asset. Personally, I install debian in dual boot to get my linux boxes in multiboot with porteus or nemesis.

I've booted nemesis via Grub2Win's grub2.

Code: Select all

menuentry " Porteus Nemesis ISO" --class slackware   --class icon-xtra-07  {

     set linux_folder=/porteus3.x
     set iso=/ISOs/porteus-nemesis-v3.5-lxde-x86_64.iso
     set boot_parms="delay=8 changes=EXIT:$linux_folder/porteussave.dat volume=33 reboot=cold"

     if [ -f /boot/syslinux/vmlinuz ]; then linux_folder=""; fi
     search -f $iso --set=root
     loopback loop $iso
     linux  (loop)/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz from=$iso $boot_parms
     initrd (loop)/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz
     }

Nice! Though I have a very different way to do it.

In fact, I wanted to know if somebody or someone (I never know which is the good one to use), have used the grub package of arch.

Thanks.
