RE: [SLE] Xandros 2.0 and Suse
Anyone out there have any experience with
a) Xandros 2.0
yes, very business orientated and polished. Not to my taste though.
b) Xandros 2.0 dual booting with Suse
Easy, just dont install the boot manager during the xandros install, edit the config file of your bootloader with the relevant information. If you need to go digging for it just mount the partition and IIRC everything is under /boot. Regards, Ben
Really, helpful, Ben, thanks! On Friday 02 April 2004 04:07, Ben Higginbottom wrote:

What a great tip. Thanks, Ben! Nick

Right. I'm guessing that I'm going to be pointing grub to /boot/ vmlinuz-2.4.24-x1 on the partition with Xandros. In my existing /boot/grub/ menu.lst then, would I do: ###Existing YAST-created Suse stuff:### ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: failsafe### title Failsafe kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 showopts ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off vga=normal nosmp noapic maxcpus=0 3 initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd ###New Xandros Option:### title Xandros kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.24-x1 root=/dev/hda4 showopts ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off vga=normal nosmp noapic maxcpus=0 3 initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd ? Thanks in advance, Nick
