triple boot suse 9.3 professional linux system
I need to install SUSE 9.3 Prof Linux on to a machine and i need three partitions as i need to install different versions of another linux software package.
I have not been able to figure out how to install three selectable partitions for boot, i dont even know if this is possible as i am more familiar to Red-Hat. There is no windows on this PC at all, the hard disk is clean. Simply what i need is the boot menu to say Linux Partition 1 Linux Partition 2 Linux Partition 3 I appreciate i will need to install SUSE 3 times. |
If I understand correctly, you would like to install three independent versions of SUSE 9.3 on your HDD? In this case I would create at least four partitions, one for each system and a shared swap. You may also share a common /home (so 5 partitions) or more.
You may install grub only for the first installation and add the two other systems later to /boot/grub/menu.lst: Code:

Thanks, i will give this a try.
I appreciate the suggestion. |
YaST can help you put the bootloader settings together :) GRUB isn't that hard to understand, and with the help of YaST nothing can go wrong :) If it doesn't run to well, despite the help of YaST, post your
device.map menu.lst grub.conf content here among with what is exactly wrong... If you don't use grub, forget what I said :) |
