I have Linux Mint installed on SDA’s 7, 8 & 9 and would like to replace with either Tumbleweed or Milestone.
I did try to install on the above SDA’s as I did 13.2, ie I created a root, home and swap, but on reboot I it did not find
Tumbleweed or Milestone, in fact it all Grub went wrong, and I installed Mint to recover with a new Grub!
Could you please tell me where I am going wrong and the correct way to install Tumbleweed or Milestone.
I’m going to assume that you have some experience with linux, and know how to setup partitioning as you want.
You had problems with booting. So let’s concentrate on that.
After you have setup partitioning for opensuse, and after you have given the user information and timezone information, you will see a summary screen with a bunch of headings. You can click on any of those headings to make changes.
So click on “Booting”. Normally, opensuse boots from the root partition in your setup, or perhaps from the extended partition. Mint is probably using the MBR.
So best is going to be to tell the opensuse installer to put grub2 in the MBR. Uncheck the other options for grub location.
Your choice, of course. However, Milestone will be stagnant until there’s another milestone (perhaps a month). In the meantime, there won’t be any security updates. Tumbleweed will keep on rolling along.
