Tow Boot - How to Flash a New OS?
#1
Currently, I am running Mobian + phosh on a PP Beta. I have the latest version of Mobian, so I have tow boot installed on the eMMC.

I am thinking about switching to Manjaro + phosh. How can I do this safely while preserving my tow boot boot loader?

I have searched online but can't find a definitive answer for this as tow boot is so new. Most people talking about tow boot online are PPP users.

My Idea:
- flash Manjaro installer installation to sd card
- boot from sd card and install to eMMC
(will that erase tow boot? or cause me boot problems?)

I'm wondering if anybody here has tried to do this? or could offer some guidance on this?
