Doesn't a chainloader work for an efi boot?
I edit grub.cfg manually. Doesn't this work for modern efi
machines/Windows versions anymore?
menuentry "XP"{
set root=(hd1,1)
drivemap -s hd0 hd1
chainloader +1
}
I'll try this, thanks. I do not really like grub, but they say that
manually editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg is not advised ( I believe that it
is because this file is rebuilt when grub or linux kernels are updated
). Well, I must admit that I do not really mind about such statements,
but since this computer is the tool I'll use for work, I would prefer to
avoid random tinkering. Tinkering is nice at home, but here I have some
stuff to do for which I'm paid.
A side note, IMO a Windows install only is needed to develop and/or
test
hardware. Most needed software should be available by Linux and
assumed
some hardware isn't available, a virtual install IMO is the better
^^^^^^^^ software
solution. Wine often might not work, but I run Windows in VBox to
use
iTunes, I never ever would use a Windows outside a virtual machine,
excepted of hardware development and/or testing.
Here are the reasons, which are not always really good as you will
quickly notice:
_ I have no idea about how to use any samba client. I could spend some
time to learn indeed, but I'm new here ( at my job ) and already have
some work to do. I do not want to spend time for such stuff when I need
to discover my new environment.
_ They use exchange 2003. And it seem they have configured it to avoid
internal connexions using the web interface. I have tried
davmail+icedove, but lack informations about the exchange server so it
ended nowhere.
_ My opinion about IHM is the opposite of most people. If, someday,
someone need to take a look on my computer, they will never be able to
use i3 + bash + vim. So having a working windows install could allow my
colleagues to access files they could need on my computer, in case I
have a problem which avoid me to be present.
_ wine is of course an interesting tool. But I do not know if Microsoft
accepts that outlook can be used when not combined with a windows
license. And I am not at home... ( it I was at home, I would not have an
obsolete software to provide mails, which respects no standard anyway ).
_ is installing windows on a virtual system legal? I do not want to
read long licenses written in English with things hidden behind
well-chosen words.
