Hi. I have just installed my SuSE 9.1 It has been installed on the first partition of my harddisk, where I had XP before. On my other partition I have SuSE 9.1 installed. I can boot both systems now by booting from their DVD's. How can I make the system to dualboot ?. Erik Jakobsen

How can I make the system to dualboot ?. Very easy. Use YaST. System/Boot Loader configuration There are some dependencies on how you set up your /boot. Just point your boot loader (eg GRUB) at your HD (eg /dev/hda) Then edit available sections, and set up one for each root partition.
I normally do a similar thing when I install a new version. I dual boot the
old version and the new version. One of the issues is that you need to
point the stage one at one of the /boot/grub directories. It does not
matter which one. Once you get everything set up, you should be able to
dual boot.

Hi Jerry. Thansk for your reply. What you describes is also what I did, but as I hardly am sure on what to do its difficult. Would be very nice with an explanation. I can see the subject are discussed in the administration manual, but I feel its hard to see the meaning. Erik Jakobsen
