Rajko,
You are probably right but it scares me to death that the other os's that I have won't boot then. Not sure that I know how to do that and worse, that I can do that safely.
On system with 2 hard disks and 2 existing installations on second drive (Ubuntu and openSUSE) the installer picked them both up without a glitch. They are both bootable with their own boot menu, as they both have grub installed in a respective root partitions.
It is just funny to see old grub boot menu coming up after initial one.
Of course depends on your configuration YMMV. There is no help for that, except to come back to solve new problems if they show up.
Well what I finally ended up doing was adding 11.2 to my existing grub menu as a "rootnoverify" chainloader. And yes, the opposite of you, it brings up the new 11.2 grub menu and it can be booted from there. Funny thing is that I can boot the other systems from that menu also.That leads me to believe that the new grub will also boot the ext3 systems. Anyway it works now so I'll leave it for awhile. Now I'll have to find out why the other os's won't allow the 11.2 partitions to be seen. Because they are ext4? They should be compatible I would think. Will report back on that. Anyway Thanks to everybody who pitched in with ideas and advice. This is a great list.
