Lkr Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Ok, so, i've installed XP on about 99GBs of my harddrive. Now I want to install SuSE Linux 10.1. Now, how do I go about doing this for dual boot? Do I just install it on the rest of the harddrive, then i get a bootloader installed? im confused, please help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24463-suse-linux-dual-booting/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
