You're wrong, the grub installation is broken in a different way in Beta2 than in Beta1, it's just missing some lines in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
There is nothing "scandalous" about it and it does not overwrite the MBR. Please try yourself before making such a judgement.
Oh! you are right! I had tried it on three machines, but all three had beta 1 installed previously, so naturally the MBR pointed there again. I booted back to 10.1, told him to write his GRUB to the MBR, then booted again and used the chainloader command against 10.2's boot partition. His boot menu then showed normally (I had already fixed it to see the basilisk), which shows that the GRUB install did indeed work correctly. I stand corrected, and apologize to the smart guys at Novell :) I will bring beta 2 DVDs to our user group's "Beer Meeting" on Wednesday: http://milwaukeelug.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=BeerMeetingAtendees -- Glenn Holmer (Q-Link: ShadowM) http://www.lyonlabs.org/commodore/c64.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
