I have 11.4 as my primary Linux and I want to install 12.2 beta 1 for testing.
I'm thinking that the boot should be written to the MBR ? or not ?
TIA, Duaine
I would recommend putting it in a separate /boot partition. Then when you install 12.2-β1 you can leave that partition unformatted, preserving the 11.4 files. One warning, 12.2 does not tend to find other installations except windows so be sure to backup the menu.lst with the 11.4 stanzas or it will get over-written. That is for legacy grub, don't know about grub2. Tom -- “What we do for ourselves dies with us.
