Please tell me where in the general 11.3 CD ( not the live CD ), there is a "repair" ? I have not been able to find it anywhere. Someone suggested to try "Install" from the initial menu, and then one is supposed to eventually get a menu of "Install", "Upgrade", and "Repair". But I only get "Install" and "Upgrade" from that second eventual menu.
It was removed. Broken and not maintained. Discussed somewhere in the factory list not many months ago.
So much for the OpenSUSE Repair option everybody has been telling me about as the best way to re-initialize 'grub'. I will try the Rescue System option instead.
On most setups, grub can be easily installed from the command line (and is at least as easy, if not more so, than rebuilding the boot database in Vista/W7). I've always preferred using the CLI over YaST because it gives me more granular control and feedback. At any rate, you can see how YaST last installed grub by looking at /etc/grub.conf; YaST simply feeds this file to the grub shell (as an aside, do not use the grub-install script on openSUSE). It does however require a basic understanding of how grub works and the main syntax. If you need help, just ask (btw this assistance is readily provided on the Forums, especially following a new release, as it is a common problem area for new users).
I hope I do not have to install 'grub' when I use the Rescue System as opposed to re-initialize 'grub' on my boot partition, which is what I will need to do once I move the partition. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
