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 :-)))
