Linux Mint Debian Edition & openSUSE Dual Boot

[linux_rules]

Hi,

I am using openSUSE 11.4 & wish to try Linux Mint Debian Edition.

I want to keep the existing openSUSE installation & install Linux Mint Debian Edition alongside.

If I install normally using the Linux Mint Debian Edition installation disc, will the setup recognize my existing installation and add a grub menu entry as Linux distros usually do in case of an existing Windows installation ?

Please reply.

Yes it will. I had a dual boot with LMDE and openSUSE 11.4 for a while, and it used the LMDE Grub. I used LMDE's Grub because openSUSE uses Grub Legacy, and it takes a little more configuration to get it to recognize and boot your LMDE.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,
my friend is using Ubuntu 10.04. He wants to try LMDE too. Same question once more, will LMDE setup add grub entry for the existing Ubuntu installation ?

Because its somebody else's PC, I don't want to proceed without asking.

TIA
