    Tri Boot of the Operating Systems

    Folks i have dual Boot i-e two operating Systems..

    1. Windows XP
    2. SLES10

    Now i want to install openSuSE 10.3 as well (i do have the hardisk space). Will it be a normal install just like u have windows and then u install Linux and it gives u a dual boot?

    This should work ... I don't use SLES10 but do use OpenSUSE 10.3 with Windows and other Linux distributions. I assume you are using grub as the bootloader at present ... I can't remember if OpenSUSE will add other Linux entries direct to its boot menu or if it adds entries to link to the existing grub menu (it does one of the two).
    I'd just use the default bootloader install to MBR.

    Hope this helps.

    Just install OpenSuSe 10.3 in free space. Installer will detect other OSes and setup multiboot itself.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
