Hello, I plan to install some distros on my external HDD. Now, every single help I've read on the net shows how to do it if you have Windows installed on your internal HDD - which I do not. I have Ubuntu 12.04, I have no Windows.
The question is - if I just install Debian (and later, several other distros) on the external HDD following the normal install procedure, don't overwrite Ubuntu's grub, and just do update grub (from Ubuntu) while the E-HDD is plugged in, will I get
a) direct boot to Ubuntu while E-HDD is not plugged in?
b) choice to select a distro while E-HDD is plugged in?
c) a borked grub and possibly not be able to boot Ubuntu?
Thanks for the answers!
