Thanks for the quick reply back tomorrow

I don´t know what problems you have but maybe you are trying to make more the 4 primary partitions, that wont work, try making an extended partition and dividing that partition into as many partitions you need

Just wondering what hda1's mount point it or what it contains atm?

You need at least a partition for each new install's / mount point, they can share the swap and ~10gigs should be fine without subsections being seperated. Just see if you can repartition that remaining 21gig into maybe two ext3 partitions for an install or two.

The partitions are what Mandrake 10 made when I installed it. What would happen if I put SUSE9.1 in the empty space would I get the choice of which os to use at boot?

Sorry for the delay in reply. What gives you a choise of OSs at bootup is the bootloader. That'll probably be lilo or grub installed to your primary drive's master boot record. You can update these by altering their configuration files in linux and then eg. for lilo run lilo -v. When you install another linux install it may detect the first and add an entry for you, but I dunno about Suse. Also your original install's config files wont have an entry to the second OS yet, so you'd have to either boot into it, change and update, or just mount the partition with its config and change them.

WOOT It worked installed SUSE9.1 on the rest of the drive rebooted into SUSE found somewhere I could choose to merge bootloaders and although SUSE wont let me on the internet that does not matter as I can post this from Mandrake.

Thanks to all that helped

Update internet now ok so this update is the first post from SUSE 9.1
