Description Michael Stather 2005-09-10 12:09:02 UTC 
When I upgrade my linux system and the installer will upgrade/reinstall the
bootmanager before the first restart (after installing the packages from CD 1).
To continue installation I´ve eject the CD and boot into the SuSE system again.
My suggestion (IMHO good for new users) is to eject the CD before restart and
use "grubonce" or its lilo equivalent to automatically boot into linux after the
restart (just like it´s possible with KDE).
Comment 1 Lukas Ocilka 2005-09-12 07:06:00 UTC 
CD1 should have something like "Boot the sytem" as the first selection when the
system is installed. Ejecting the CD-rom could be quite dangerous (laptops on
the desk...for instance).

jsrain: `grubonce`?

Andreas, this one is for you.
Comment 3 Andreas Jaeger 2006-01-04 10:18:17 UTC 
Since we're not removing the CD automatically, I don't think there's anything that can be done.
Comment 4 Michael Stather 2006-01-04 12:14:26 UTC 
Since the default entry in the CD boot selection is "boot from hard disk" this would work IMHO. Just like with a Windows installation.
Comment 5 Michael Stather 2006-04-20 14:19:22 UTC 
Just (in 10.2) setup grubonce so grub will start the new linux system and continue installing suse.
Comment 6 Andreas Jaeger 2006-04-30 09:43:22 UTC 
Let's investigate later, I'll take this for now.

Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED.

In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
