I was reading the wiki looking for any known install issues in alpha 2.
I am inquiring regarding issues with install to second hard drive,
grub/lilo issues, etc. Can you advise?<br>

I have 2 hard drives with 3 partitions on each. I installed Alpha 2 to
the second drive on the 3rd partition and let it make changes to the
mbr. Everything except the Suse partition showed up on the grub menu
automatically. I'm not saying this is the case for everyone because the
release notes say there may be problems when letting it overwrite your
mbr but it worked for me.

Tony,

Would you happen to know if your Suse installation is on the second disk?

Yes it is. My first drive has 2 windows partitions and a Linspire
partition. The second drive has 2 Freespire partitions and the Suse
partition.
