Hello,
I have installed openSUSE 11.1 from a 8 GB USB-Stick, made according to URL
http://en.opensuse.org/SuSE_install_from_USB_drive
from the openSUSE 11.1 dvd iso. The Netbook is a MEDION AKOYA-E1210,
MD97160 with Windows XP. This netbook is basically a cloon of the MSI Wind.
The dual-boot install went oke until the last moment - installing GRUB.
At that moment the system says that installing Grub went not oke and gave me
the possibility to change the grub configuration settings. I changed the
location for Grub from “logical partition (hd0,3) to MBR” but this change
resulted in the following displayed error message.
Error while installing GRUB
GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640k lower/3072k upper memory)
[Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists
possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completion of the device/file name]
