I’ve been messing around with this for over a week. I stumbled onto this page, and 2 minutes later I’m dual booting xp with PCLOS.
I really appreciate it. You have no idea how much I appreciate it.

This was very helpful! Everyone else out there seems to only have instructions for when you load Windows first, but not Linux first. This saved me gobs of time. THANKS!

While of course you can do that, and is the easiest way. But in essence you are not learning how to work with grub. It’s not really difficult to learn. All you have to remember is that arrays start with 0. I know I could have written an article two sentences long. Just hit redo mbr, but I like to know how things work, just in case redo MBR fails.

If you do not know what an array is. I will explain, an array is a set of constants or variables. Like what are you doing today could be an array of ( laundry, work, eating , bathroom, smoking a cigarette, *) you would do all these things all day but in what section of the day would you do these things? so We can put your day in this order. Where “*” is a wild card ( being anything that comes up ) or variable, in mathematical terms. so in the terms of a daily life the day may be composed like this.
daily life

$dailylife = array( laundry, work, eating , bathroom, smoking a cigarette, *)

with the daily life configuration script
$dailylife[3];
$dailylife[5];
$dailylife[4];
$dailylife[2];
$dailylife[5];
$dailylife[4];
$dailylife[1];
$dailylife[5];
$dailylife[4];
$dailylife[0];
$dailylife[5];
$dailylife[4];
$dailylife[3];
$dailylife[5];
$dailylife[4];
$dailylife[5];
You really shouldn’t smoke so much and relax and as arrays are, $dailylife[3] would be the same as bathroom. This is because all arrays start as 0. So $dailylife[0] would be laundry. The hard drives are arrays too, in this program. So hd0,0 would be your first hard drive and first partition. I hope this helps in your understanding of this article.

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article b after windows xp install – pclinuxos | The H8ers Club, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
