I recently installed Open Suse 11.3 beta (build 0625) on a system with another Linux distro in another partition. Interestingly, Suse gave me no option for configuring dual boot, and the resulting boot menu showed only the Suse partition. I was able to install a custom Grub2 to get back into the other distro, but why doesn't Suse provide this?
[Based upon observation, not any official position I know about.]
SUSE provides Grub 2 as an incompletely supported option. Its installer provides no Grub 2 support. Consequently, it is incapable of parsing Grub 2 config files used by other distros, and it is the parsing of menu.lst files from Grub 1 that enables other distros to be found.
Well it also doesn't (11.1) do the others that use Grub 1, from my experience, case in point Vector Linux. :( {snip} -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
