[opensuse] How to install OpenSuSE 11.0 on a Vista Laptop
I'd like to know what the best solution is for dual boot on a Vista Laptop and installing OpenSuSE 11.0. Install with dual boot..? Virtual Machine first...? (I haven't played with Virtual Desktops) Let Grub handle it al...? Which method is easiest to recover from if it all goes bad...? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Install with dual boot..?
certainly openSUSE 11 (for me), did a very good job in resizing down the vista partition (even to a point vista didn't know how to do) jdd -- Jean-Daniel Dodin Président du CULTe www.culte.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Install with dual boot..? Virtual Machine first...? (I haven't played with Virtual Desktops) This is the right solution if you do not want fancy hardware capabilities, like 3D, surround sound, etc... Let Grub handle it al...? This is the best option if you want to separate the the TWO OS's. But it will require you to reboot in order to change OS.
Which method is easiest to recover from if it all goes bad...? If you use Grub and create a separate boot partition, then if you Linux installation fails, you only need to change the boot partition with any fdisk-like tool to boot with Vista...

The separate partitions and Grub sounds like the more practical solution and easier to recover from, if...... Thanks -
