Hi pelagos,

Where's your introduction ?

Post your question in the hard drive installation forum.
You will get specific answers there.

Have a good one.

if you are new to linux, why do you want to install those 3 distros?

i would just start by using pclinux in livecd mode, i wouldn't install anything, suse is interesting but i would avoid the ubunfantastic distro, i think that it is a waste of internet connection when downloading the iso and a waste of electricity and time when installing and using it

The three distros are installed, each to their own HDD.

He just wants the Grub stanzas to boot the others from the PCLOS Grub!

Maybe a mod would move this thread to the relevant section where it can be answered.

I use the above all the time, especially the part where
hd0,0    hd1,0    hd2,0   are used to identify root partitions
to use in /boot/grub/menu.lst boot config file.
