I have 11.4 as my primary Linux and I want to install 12.2 beta 1 for testing.
I'm thinking that the boot should be written to the MBR ? or not ?
Found the answer by an extensive Google search.
Did the Google results include http://old-en.opensuse.org/Bugs/grub#How_does_a_PC_boot_.2F_How_can_I_ set_up_a_working_GRUB.3F ?
What was your conclusion?
Felix, An interesting site which I have now studied several times. Follow your responses about dual boot and multiple boot with interest. But I have a multiple boot which works but is quit unorganized. I have never made a separate /boot and always used the mbr from the first HD. If I want to remove the grub from the MBR of my first disk, it is easy. Fdisk/ Cfdisk. Make the mbr active. But then? Where do you place the grub? From which openSUSE? With every update, Yast writes something to the bootloader from the owner of the grub. Can their multiple owners? I have e.g. KDE4, LXDE (both12.1)and 12.2M3 apart from DrDos, Puppy and Windows XP and no idea how to cleanup my system. How do you manage your multiple system? All with chainloader? How could/would the grub2 be included/used? -- Linux User 183145 using KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 12.1 (i586) Kernel: 3.4.0-25-default KDE Development Platform: 4.8.3 (4.8.3) "release 504") 15:26pm up 20:15, 3 users, load average: 1.41, 0.96, 0.86 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
