How to Install Fluxuan Linux on a Partition with DUAL BOOT

First Download Fluxuan Linux - > https://fluxuan.org/download-fluxuan]

Choose one of the 32 or 64 BIT latest release

Create bootable USB with:   Rufus  if you are on Windows -> https://rufus.ie
                                              dd if you are on linux 

sudo dd if=fluxuan_daedalus_5.0.6_amd64.iso of=/dev/sdX conv=fsync status=progress

Now I know Fluxuan is installed on my vda3 partition now let`s create Dual Booting.
Boot into your main Operating System ( LINUX ).
Open File manager and click to mount the partition you have installed Fluxuan on enter password when requested i use pcmanfm.

Open Terminal and check if os-prober is installed .

sudo os-prober

You should get a reply like the next picture if it is installed , if not you can install it by running

sudo apt install os-prober

or what package-manager you have

mini_check-os-prober.png

Now we have to enable it in grub configuration so in Terminal run the next command and remove "#" from "#GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false"
It should look like in the next picture.

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Use CTRL+O to save and CTRL+X to close nano after editing
mini_os-prober-enabled.png

Now we can run

sudo update-grub

mini_update-grub-conf.png

Next open again grub configuration and restore "#"

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Use CTRL+O to save and CTRL+X to close nano after editing

mini_enable-os-prober.png

Now reboot your Operating system and you will see in the Grub Menu the new Fluxuan on Partition /dev/vda3 in my case choose and hit ENTER
