You failed to say that before.
Booting two different Linux on the same disk is not plug and play, you have to do work yourself.
Eh, I have both Leap 15.0 and TW on the same SSD, never had any issues. The only thing I did, since TW is my workhorse, have TW have control over GRUB. I wouldn't call that work.

Carlos, you're right, I didn't say that before. I didn't realize that it was an issue, or I could have mentioned it. Anyways, thanks for providing your input to help me out. But more precisely I didn't mention it because the two opensuse systems aren't on the same disk, they are on the same computer. Opensuse 15.0 is on /dev/sda, and I installed Opensuse 15.1 on /dev/sdb. That caused the problem I was trying to solicit help on the mail list to resolve. Opensuse 15.1 designated /dev/sdb as the default place to store the mbr, and I couldn't find a way to change that during installation to /dev/sda. What was an issue for me here was that I couldn't write the 15.1 boot to the mbr on /dev/sda when I was installing the 15.1 operating system on the dev/sdb disk. I still don't know how to accomplish that, other than the way I found around the problem. Kind of a lucky guess that got me out of the difficulty. Maybe the warnings from the installation software that the system wouldn't boot if I selected /dev/sda as the boot partition were wrong and I should have disregarded them. If there was only one hard drive, there wouldn't have been any issue. Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
