The same menu works on my USB drive and harddrive. The .txt file is on the Porteus USB drive and other is for the my harddrive. This way I can copy the menu from harddrive to USB drive.

@ francois

No need for mloop with these newer kernels. Iso can just be mounted. Looping taken care of for you. 8)

@ Ed

Methinks it's about time you regaled us with a tutorial, and what better subject than Grub 2

Most of my learning I got from this app:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/grub2win/files/

which works with BIOS based and EFI based systems.

@bogomips:
The arch linux variant is chakra. Here is an example for manjaro:

Code: Select all

title      manjaro MJRO1512  'fromiso=' manjaro-net-15.12-i686.iso
root      (hd0,0)
kernel     /Manjaro/manjaro misobasedir=manjaro misolabel=MJRO1512 nouveau.modeset=0 i915.modeset=1 radeon.modeset=0 nonfree=yes logo.nologo overlay=nonfree showopts
initrd       /Manjaro/manjaro.img

You have to mloop the manjaro.iso and look into isolinux.cfg to get the appropriate menu.lst settings. 8)

Something is wrong about this menu entry of mine.
