Advice on partitioning

I am in a dual boot with Ubuntu and win 7 wireless.
When I install 11.3 I no longer have Ubuntu. Is there a process or procedure to assure multiple boot
while I attempt to connect suse to my network

you can do 2 things

1 boot with ubuntu live cd to restore grub 2 & update the grub with “sudo update-grub” command.
Or

2 Go to yast->Boot Loader & then add ubuntu on the list.

there are some slightly tricky parts, i think…have a good look
here before you begin, then ask more if needed:

and, as always you should already be making backups of important data,
if you have not been then a GREAT time to begin is before you get into
the middle of something that might eat your lunch…


dd CAVEAT: http://is.gd/bpoMD
via NNTP openSUSE 11.4 [2.6.37.6-0.5] + KDE 4.6.0 + Thunderbird 3.1.10
on Acer Aspire One D255, 1.66 GHz Atom, 1 GB RAM, Intel Pineview graphics

Or add Ubuntu to your openSUSE boot menu with updategrub (not update-grub): updategrub for openSUSE Legacy Grub (not update-grub!)

The trick while installing openSUSE after Ubuntu would have been to prevent openSUSE from writing a generic boot code in MBR, as shown in the last of the following pictures:




  • and then run update-grub under Ubuntu to add openSUSE to the menu.
