[SOLVED]Triple Boot - Wirezfree - 12-12-2015
[size=1em]Hi,[/size]
[size=1em]Trying to finish off a build of a Intel NUC for a friend, not a lot of time due to work.[/size]
[size=1em]Anyway, [/size]
[size=1em]The NUC is "Dual Booting" LL2.8(with Kernel 4.2) & Win7 in legacy mode, after some hair pulling, and then finding out the BIOS is bugged.[/size]
[size=1em]I now want to add Linux Mint,[/size]
[size=1em]So that it "Triple Boots" but I remember reading LL grub does something special to make it easier to "Dual Boot" with Windows.[/size]
[size=1em]So I have to admit I'm not quite sure what will happen if I now install Linux Mint..??[/size]
[size=1em]Will I loose the Grub that currently shows LL & Win7, or will Mint just be added.??[/size]
[size=1em]Do I install it, and immediately run "Grub Repair", or run a LL "Live" and do something..??[/size]
[size=1em]Any pointers on how to do this would be appreciated.[/size]
[size=1em]Thanks...[/size]

@avj
Ooops & Duh... I got so focused on the install, and BIOS Bug...
I completely forgot about my original post, and the answers. :-[ :-[ :-[
I'm glad somebody is paying attention.

Use the guide by gold_finger OR
install Mint to your selected partition by selecting "other" in partitioning and install the Mint grub to / of the mint partition. Then reboot into LL after install and term "sudo update-grub" should update grub, allowing for LL grub to remain but adding mint to the boot menu.
