Well as far as I’m concerned. This is issue for me is resolved. Thanks for the little bit of info and some of the help you fellows gave. Looking forward to exploring the board here and using Suse.
You should be able to changed which is the primary boot manager on your system ( mint, ubuntu, etc). On my system I have openSUSE 13.1 as my bootloader for grub2, it is configured to control ‘bootloader from MBR’, all the other OS (openSUSE 12.3, Linuxmint 15) are configured as ‘bootloader from root partition’. If I decide to change which Os control Grub then I would set only that Os to control and write the bootloader to MBR, and the others to write their bootloader to their root partitions.
On openSUSE you would do that through Yast/Partitioner.
I am not to good with the command line options ( can’t quite remember those commands).
To achieve this graphically. Make the change in the Os you want as the primary bootloader to update the MBR. Once that is done on reboot you should have a different bootloader menu control by that Os. Now select the Os which was controlling the bootloader before (openSUSE 13.1) and go into yast/Partinioner and un-select the ‘Bootloader to MBR’ and select ‘Bootloader to root partition’
That is how I have done mine, when I first install Linuxmint and it wrote it bootloader to MBR.
