hello, is this now the right place to ask about leap 15? I don't want to add factory to my already too large subscription list :-( thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Depends on the question :-) If it is something too new for people to know about it, then you have to ask on the factory mail list :-) Just go ahead, ask here, try :-) -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E. R.

:-) In fact, I just got a very small usb3 msata device and I plan to use it to have a portable linux, that is a linux I expect to run on any computer I may have at hand (not only mine). given it's a demo device, I want to use Leap 15. Making such an install without breaking the main computer install is a bit hard. on my first try, yast asked me if I wanted to have the new install grub "on the mbr". But what mean "mbr" here, when all the install was made on external (/dev/sdc on this example) disk? Was it the external mbr disk or the internal one? not being sure, I said no. But then I couldn't boot the external. But from the main (42.3), os-probe found Leap 15 and changed the main menu, so I could boot. The computer I used for this first test was my main demo laptop, I need it OK, so I didn't go further. In addition, I couldn't boot the usb device I wrote leap iso to in uefi mode (don't know why). So I took an other less important laptop (still with usb3 port - very fast, indeed, no real difference form internal ssd) and boot this one. This I could boot the iso in uefi, and made the install right to the end with defaults (kde...). Couldn't boot the external. Booted main 42.3 (uefi), run yast, changed boot timeout to 5s and rebooted with my new disk in the menu. booted Leap 15, then grub-install --removable -no-nvram /dev/sdb (only one main disk on this one) and I can boot the external on the two laptops. That said from the main (first) laptop, the boot entry is on the legacy part, so I'm unsure what grub did boot, efi or standard jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Well, you found a bug to report ;-) Or two. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
