Graphical boot loader (MBR) installers for Linux

[tome]

GRUB4DOS Installer 1.4 - "grubinst_gui is a GUI frontend to grubinst" (grubinst is utility used to install GRUB4DOS to the MBR of hard disk or image file), it provides a friendly interface to users who are not familiar with the command line environment." It sets only MBR (grldr and menu.lst must be copied manually).

DebianDog Installer (Puppy Linux) - "installer for frugall/full USB/HDD using grub4dos/syslinux with option to install from iso or directory". It can install MBR exclusively.

2024-06-17 - After 2 years my mbr installed by DebianDog Installer 2015 stopped working (ssd, some partitions, not all in order, current version of ext4 with journal).
BTW older linuxes with ext4 support can't read current ext4 partitions with new options enabled.
On my laptop don't work latest 0.4.6a grldr files, only grub.exe or 0.4.5c grldr.

Hi tome.

The GRUB4DOS Installer looks interesting. I still use GRUB4DOS on my non-EFI machine but it is via the Windows boot loader.

Have you seen the Grub2Win app? https://sourceforge.net/projects/grub2w ... rce=navbar
