Hi,
After reading the threads about grub, I was wondering how I have to install opensuse on my ubuntu laptop. There is a partition free, but how about grub ? What information do I need to be able to make an entry in suse's menu.lst ? Or can opensuse's installer manage this by itself ? Then again, do I need to modify my ubuntu to tell it's no longer in control of grub ?
TIA

From my recent experience installing opensuse on my Kubuntu desktop opensuse will not find the Ubuntu partition and set it up in grub for whatever reason. I had to set up Grub with Kubuntu to get all the operating systems recognized and booting properly. Kubuntu will set up opensuse but not the other way round.
I just installed Slackware 13.37 in my second hdd, which is /dev/sdb. After installing it, I went and booted back into opensuse and went into YaST and it found everything and was very easy to setup so that I could choose which distro to boot into, so I guess I have to disagree that opensuse won't see other OS's/distro's...at least for *me* it worked just fine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
