Re: [opensuse] complex confusing partition problem

Bob S a écrit :

No, as above clicking on 10.2 in the 10.3 grub menu opens the second menu
where I can choose between the two 10.2 versions

you ca still use 10.3 yast to have direct loading of the other distros.

what you can make is to write some text on the root of *any partition* with the expected content of this partition (for example: "Root 10.3* *home 10.2 a", it's enough to create (as root) an empty text file with the relevant name.

so, whatever the system name the partition you know what *you* want it to be
