I've installed Fedora 5 and ZenWalk 2.4 alongside my default-boot SUSE 10.0 for testing purposes. I did not want to disturb my SUSE GRUB so I told Fedora's and ZenWalk's installers not to install any boot-loader. Now I am unable to boot into them without a boot-loader entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst
Naturally. Not installing any boot loader at all makes no sense whatsoever. You should always install a distro's native boot loader somewhere. With multiboot, additional distros should always have their boot loaders installed to their /, or, if you use one, their /boot. This gives you the flexibility to later switch any you choose to the mbr if you wish, or to use any boot loader you choose, no matter the type or source. When you install to the / or /boot, you know exactly the required grub or lilo entries that OS installer felt appropriate for the distro, and they can easily be copied to any of the boot loader config files for any of the other distros you have installed. -- "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them."
