i installed knoppix 5.0.1 onto my hard disk with the aid of the live CD. also, i installed the grub boot loader in the master boot record. but, now i want to have the grub boot loader in the root partition.
how can i do this without reinstalling knoppix? are there any commands that can do the job from the shell console?

* Read Entirelly before Using
1. Boot from Ubuntu Live CD
2. Open a Terminal. Go SuperUser (that is, type "su"). Enter root passwords as necessary.
3. Type "grub" which makes a GRUB prompt appear.
4. Type "find /boot/grub/stage1". You'll get a response like "(hd0)" or in my case "(hd0,3)". Use whatever your computer spits out for the following lines.
5. Type "root (hd0,3)".
6. Type "setup (hd0,3)". This is key. Other instructions say to use "(hd0)", and that's fine if you want to write GRUB to the MBR. If you want to write it to your linux root partition, then you want the number after the comma, such as "(hd0,3)".
7. Type "quit".
8. Restart the system. Remove the bootable CD.
