I have installed 10.3 on a 250GB Drive, but I also want a "play" installation as I have more than enough room. I put GRUB on the MBR and also have a DOS partition. The GRUB bootloader has on it's menu:
OpenSuse 10.3
DOS
Floppy
Failsafe
My question: Can I run 10.3 YAST install again and set new / (root) and /home partitions and have a separate installation by not mounting the / root and /home of the original installation? Will this second installation show up in GRUB (renamed of course)? If not, what do you suggest.
It should work OK. The only partition you can share between both is the swap partition. I'm not sure if suspend-to-disk can interfere here; if you're paranoid, don't share swap.
