I have never heard of a concept that said "this is THE solution to having multiple Linux installations".
The solution used here, where all machines are BIOS, is limiting bootloader control of each installation exclusively to its own installation, loaded through a bootloader independently controlled. For that I use Grub 0.97+ mostly, also IBM OS/2's Boot Manager, and even NTLDR. Other options exist, such as Acronis, AiR-Boot, Plop and XOSL.
Man. That almost sounds like "TL;DR". That is not something someone is able to do who hasn't have a LOT of knowledge about the system. I couldn't do that for YEARS unless I dedicated myself to it exclusively, and even then I couldn't because I just can't be interested in it. Oh, you're saying you can use that older Grub as the master, probably with a form of chainloading that they say is now gone from Grub2. Maybe that wouldn't be too hard. Maybe that would be doable. I think the original Grub was not nearly as hard to configure as what we have today. Thanks, maybe ... I have always been reluctant to dive into older versions. For some reason, you don't want older versions. They are deprecated, unless you have used them before you now need to learn about older versions that are no longer current or very relevant. I guess. Well, thanks anyway. Regards. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
