Grub legacy or Grub 2 in 11.3

Just a quick question (not to hijack the thread), since GRUB Legacy is installed by default as of 11.3, how would I preserve a dual boot with Windows Vista that was configured using GRUB 2? I ask this because I am switching from Ubuntu 9.10 (Never really got used to it, not a fan of the constant updates nor the predominately brown/orange themes), which used GRUB 2 by default, to OpenSUSE 11.3. Are there any extra steps that I will need to perform to install GRUB Legacy correctly? Sorry to take an existing thread, and thank-you for your time.

Or let openSUSE install grub and if it takes over you can add an entry for Ubuntu
or
Once SUSE is installed, use the Ubuntu CD to re-install grub 2

I think he meant to replace Ubuntu with openSUSE, not have them both together…

Sorry I misunderstood.
So if you just install on to the Ub* partition - I bet your boot flag is on the extended, leave it that way. And all will be fine.
