So what's the point of using zypper? Many things. it maintains a database of the updates, patches, for one thing. But you can think of it as a collection of smart scripts for doing updates. There's a lot of low-level details, such as getting grub updated that you mention,
Well, but can this work if grub is managed by another system (15.0 - in my case ) ?
No, it doesn't. You have to boot the system which controls grub and make it run os-prober so that it finds the actual kernel entries of the other system. There are other ways. You can manually edit the grub file that is intended for manual edit, and create an entry for the "vmlinuz" symlink this one is maintained by zypper. Or, after making sure that both installs have their own grub installed to the root partition, not to the MBR, add manually on each one (in the file intended for manual edit) an entry for the other grub, not to the kernel. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
