Just bear in mind that there have been occasions where 10.2 fails to install Grub correctly, leaving the system unable to boot
That just happened to me over the weekend. I eventually got it going, and it is running 10.2 just great now, but it was the strangest thing I ever saw.
Yeah, I hope I get time to check into it some more this weekend. I have a hard time parsing this next bit;
I know now I do much prefer GRUB writing to the MBR by default. I think that would have saved me several hours work.
- at least to the extent that Grub writing to the MBR (as is the default, is it not?) was what went wrong in my case... I think?
If I had tried that machine remotely, It would have only been remote for as long as it took me to get there.
Indeed... but that could conceivably be *some* time... ;)
I don't know if I'm not getting mails from this list but this is the first reply I've received to my question. Any chance someone could resend the info?
You didn't miss all that much. I basically just said that Google would be a good place to start... Anyways, Joe sent you the link in another mail.
I've got quite a few machines running 9.1, 9.3 and 10.0, would be nice to get them all running 10.2 without having to feed CD's into them.
Using 'remote-install' as an alternative to 'feeding CDs' sounds like the target hosts aren't *too* far away (?) In which case I wouldn't worry too much about the prospect of grub-install failure since you'd have physical access, once you got out of the chair... ;) /Jon -- YMMV -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
