I have been using linux for a while with an ancient Mepis in my MBR. I have been accustomed to load a new system's grub to / and then copying the initrid and kernel info to the Mepis menu 1st.
This has worked for a long time but my latest effort with Mint gives an error 15 and I don't know what is wrong. It has been so long that I am maybe missing something simple.
Secondly, as I know I should, if I installed Mint beside the other five distros would grub pick them up when the installation grub is installed to the distro root in each case?

Re: Grub
I trimmed your second question out because the first issue needs clarification. It is very unclear what you mean in the first sentence, and you don't mention why you have to do this. Nor is it clear how it relates to Mint. Your second sentence is also vague. You don't mention where you get the error message or when, or even detail if there is anything to the message other than 'error 15'. Overall, you don't tell us anything about your machine either. You need to be more specific because all that can be done is to agree that you might be having a problem.addr wrote: ⤴Sat Sep 22, 2018 7:10 pm I have been using linux for a while with an ancient Mepis in my MBR.
