Re: kubuntu 10.04 wont load error 15 file not found.(Plz help...)
I think grub-pc is better than grub-legacy in about every way (of course, I hated grub-legacy and preferred lilo).
To create a dedicated partition from the livecd:
create,format and mount the target partition, then:
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/grub2 /dev/sda
where /media/grub2 is the target partition for the grub-pc files and /dev/sda is the boot drive.
This tells the grub installer to put the boot record on /dev/sda and puts the files into your target partition. This does not create a grub.cfg file so run update-grub and create one using:
sudo update-grub -o /media/grub2/boot/grub/grub.cfg
PLEASE NOTE: I did this from my install, not the livecd - I can't see why it would be different though.
Once you have this running - You can and should edit grub.cfg directly OR you can update your grub.cfg by the above command if you wish.
