yet the Ubuntu user who comes along and installs openSUSE 11.2 or 11.3 to check it out, all of a sudden seems to "lose" their previous Ubuntu since it's now missing from the boot menu they get when they start up their computer.
That's because they allowed suse to install grub in the MBR. They should change the default proposal and install instead grub in the partition containing /boot, and not change the MBR. There should be an option in YaST to install easily this way, or to detect the presence of more oses and propose it automatically. Then the user has to configure whichever is the primary boot loader to chainload the new install. This is manual, so Yast should give the user instructions for it, or even edit that grub entry (if posssible). However, all these posts should go to the factory list, not here. These ideas/rants/whatever are lost here. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
