I am not familiar with Vector, but as someone mentioned, it is based on Slackware, which unlike what some people believe is also for newbies - if they are inquisitive enough. You probably have lilo instead of grub, and it can also chainload window:. # liloconfig # lilo -v If you really need grub, then download it from Slack's extra repo: # wget http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/slackware/slackware-current/extra/grub/grub-0.97-i486-9.txzand install it: and install it: # installpkg Notes: 1. That would be grub legacy and lacks ext4 file system support. Anyway it is a mature application and very reliable. 2. It would still lack the grub configuration file. You may run: # grubconfig to create your /boot/grub/menu.lst 3. You may wish to use grub2, but be warned that it is a messy solution. You will need to install it from http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.37/system/grub2/ and it would need a lot of patience to make it work as the configurations are "automagically" created via scripts (akin to sendmail) that are not compatible with Slackware. However I can help you as I managed to make it work here. Hopefully one day I will compile a wiki, but that would need a lot of work. So you will need to edit the scripts in /etc/grub.d/, the configuration file /etc/default/grub and then: # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cgf # grub-install Have Fun Chris
