Hi all-
I have a semi- production workstation currently running 10.10. I'd like to try out some newer features (GNOME3, Linux 3.1, etc.) during off- hours, but I can't really afford much downtime in my main system. I've set up sid in chroot with debootstrap, and I'd like to make this bootable.
I *could* of course, create a new partition, but I'm using a 60GB SSD and I'd really rather not fool around with moving files back and forth constantly.
My question, then, is how do I edit Grub 2 to boot the newer linux image with /sid as the root filesystem? I've seen a few tutorials about cross-installation, but nothing that didn't require a new partition. What additional configurations will I have to make?
Thanks in advance.
