[Rootman]

I multiboot between Xubuntu, PE, various floppy images and GParted, Puppy Linux and Rescue Linux on my 8gb USB pen drive. Everything works fine but my root directory is getting pretty choked with files of the various Linux distro's I've added. I understand that GRUB4DOS can use subdirectories and I've put the floppy images in a folder , what I don't understand is how to make the Linux OS understand where the image files are.

I've tried to root the image into a subfolder and put all the files there but the Linux kernel continues to look for the image files in the real root of the drive e.g. "/" .

title Puppy Linux

find --set-root /grldr

root (hd0,0)/puppy

kernel /puppy/vmlinuz  root=/dev/ram0 initrd=initrd.gz PMEDIA=usbflash PKEYS=us

initrd /puppy/initrd.gz

Is there a Grub4DOS command / syntax or Linux syntax to make the image look in the specified subdirectory for it's files?

TIA.

hmmm, why do I have this deja-vu feeling?
