I have a machine currently setup with Win2000 (6GB) and SUSE 9.0 taking up the remainder of an 80GB hard drive. I downloaded the ISOs for Mandrake 10 Beta 2 and wanted to give it a try on this machine. I'm currently using GRUB as my bootloader.
How would I go about installing Mandrake such that I have a triple boot environment? Will it natively offer to resize the SUSE partition to make room or should I use something like Partition Magic to resize them?
Once done, how should the bootloader be handled so that I can choose any of the three to boot into?
If someone has done something like this before, I'd appreciate the input!
Thanks.
There are a few things you will have to decide. Where is your current SUSE /boot directory ? Are you going to convert to a /boot PARTITION.
Having a /boot partition is easiest, But having seperate /boot directories , one for each OS can be made to work. I prefer to have a /boot partition, the install is all automatic, just a question of making sure grub/lilo has stanzas to boot both OS's
I have to say first that I have never worked with SUSE before so maybe it does things differently from the rest of linux, I don't think so, though.
Did you use PM to partition for SUSE ? is so continue to use it.
