Currently, I have openSUSE 11.1 on a separate HDD (HD # 2). I would like to install openSUSE 11.0 on HD # 3. How can I go about doing this such that the present bootloader (grub, installed on MBR of HD # 1) will also boot openSUSE 11.0 on HD # 3 ? There are two ways I know of to do this. 1 - Install grub on the HD #3 when installing oS11 and add a stanza to grub of oS11.1 to chainload grub of oS11. The benefit of this is that kernel updates will automatically update the correct grub. 2 - Install oS11 and tell it not to install grub. Then manually add a stanza for oS11 to the grub of oS11.1
Also, is it possible to have a single swap partition for the 2 installs of openSUSE (without confusing grub between the 2 installs of openSUSE)? The present swap partition is on HD # 2, for the openSUSE 11.1 operating system. Yes. The installer should automatically recognize the swap partition and add them to /etc/fstab
