Just edit the first entry on each different menu.lst file, so that you know which is which.
You mean the "title"name? Sorry Carlos, I am a little confused.
Yes, the tittle of the first entry. Pity there is no main title. You could change the background picture, though.
By the way, this entry:
title To grub in hda8 root (hd0,7) configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst
Ummm..where is that?
In my grub :-) It's an example of what I do.
passes control to another grub. When I install another suse, I don't let it take control of grub. I tell it to install grub on its root partition instead. Only one of the linuxes I tell it to install grub in the MBR, and that grub is the master one, and this one has entries to boot the different grub menus of each install.
So you are telling me that you have the one master grub menu and when you click on another OS it brings up a replacement menu for the OS that you selected? And if that is correct, what do you do? Edit the "master" by hand to get the new OS on it?
Correct, that's what I do. I edit it by hand. It happens to be also the grub menu of one of the installs, so YaST can touch it, too. No problem.
And to solve my immediate problem I just need to select a menu as the "master" and write it to the MBR?
It is probably the least confusing :-) Yes, only one can be in the MBR, the rest have to be on the respective main partition of each install. And you have to keep track of them, in paper perhaps :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
