It makes openSUSE's bootloader the primary one and tries to add "links" to other bootloaders 2. it is possible, but you need to disable "touching else where" yourself. As I wrote, having multiple partitions with the boot flag and flagging a volume in the extended partition is at least questionable regarding the original specification. I guess that parted has a reason why it assures only one partition is active. And, currently, almost all BIOSes and recent operating systems do _not_ need an active partition at all (if booting configured properly). YaST prefers MBR to be OS-neutral, therefore it puts the generic code - and this needs to have the active flag to be set to one partition, which it boots. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
