booting Corel Linux without disk

[Master of Reality]

A while back (i forgot about it) I put Corel Linux on my computer and couldnt get into it because it didnt do anything to the MBR and didnt givethe option to make a boot disk during the install. I cant boot into it using the CD. How would I go about trying to get into Corel Linux? I am using GRUB with Red Hat right now. I can easily read the Corel Linux partition from within RH.

Err.. I'm not sure how with GRUB, but if you install Lilo instead, all you'd have to do would be adding following line to /etc/lilo.conf

other=/dev/hda2
table=/dev/hda
label=Corel

replace /dev/hda2 to where you have your main Corel Partion

replace /dev/hda to what hard drive you used to install it on.

Why would you want to get into Corel; it's deader than yesterdays bowel movement.  Corel was based on Debian 2.1.  You can't use apt-get to update/upgrade it without A.revising the sources.list to "archive" and hoping that the package you want is either there, and being maintained or there and unmaintained and still available.  Even if you want to deal with that, Corel wasn't the shining hour of Debian-based Distros.  Reformat and install LibraNet, if you want a Debian-based distro that works.  They've even got instructions for installing WordPerfect 8 from the Corel installation disks to LibraNet on their website.
