I'm planning to install some linux distros (openSUSE is the first one I've installed), I already have done the disk partitioning, including one partition to install GRUB, so I installed the grub on the boot partitioning, however when I installed openSUSE 10.2, it (apparently) overwrites my existing GRUB partition, because when I restart my laptop the openSUSE's and not my GRUB starts. So, there's a way to install the boot on the openSUSE's root? Or how can I use openSUSE's grub to run the other distros?
by default any distro installs it's bootloader on the MBR (windows do the same). So if you don't want to erase you install anytime, you have to install the bootloader _on the root partition_ for openSUSE there is an option to do so in the expert tab after that, you have only to add a chainloader line in each grub entry you wan to know of the other distros, like that one title Windows chainloader (hd0,0)+1 of course you need to have _one_ distro to have _also_ aMBR entry, usually the older one (but if you are as silly as I am it's the last one :-))) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://gourmandises.orangeblog.fr/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
