Two things about linuxcoin-v0.2-prefinal.iso:
1. "Install LinuxCoin onto a HDD"-YouTube manual doesn't work any more. Grub can't be installed ... How can I do it now? I had to move back to linuxcoin-v0.2.1b.iso.
2. Why is /opt/miners/phoenix/phoenix.py not executable by default now? In the previous version it was!
1) Don't install this version to your HDD it's only out for a few more days then you can have the final version. What errors you getting with grub ?
2) Probably forgot to set the permissions on that file. I'll fix it up for the final version.
When I do
# apt-get install grub
I get the 1st OK but not the 2nd and not the 3rd page with the device select option. In the 4th (my 2nd) I can select Yes or No. If I do No the 2nd page appears but it leads me directly to the 4th when I do OK ...
Here the Terminal output of the entire HDD procedure
