I'm playing with several distributions on my PC and also update or replace them from time to time. My problem with GRUB is that it will overwrite the GRUB configuration if this one is located in the partition of the OS I'm replacing. Right now, to avoid this, I've created another partition with a minimal Linux distribution for the sole purpose of having a "standalone" GRUB configuration completely independant of the other installations. This way, I'm sure my GRUB config will not be lost by re-installing another partition. Aldo not a big deal, the drawback of this method is that you have an extra partition with some disk space used for a "dummy" Linux install. My question is wether this is indeed the only way to have a "standalone GRUB configuration" that will not be touched by any OS installation or upgrade ? Or is there a better/cleaner/... method ? Thanks in advance for any advice.
