Help with multi-booting


I want to multi-boot Windows XP, SuSE 9.1, and SimplyMEPIS 3.3. Anyone have any tips on a smooth and easy way of doing this?

short answer....MS only has one option which is to overwrite the master boot record with its bootloader so install that one first then mepis then suse.

Suse is now up to about 10.1 so you may want to check your download mirrors if you have broadband internet?

(2) if you are interested my grub tutorial as some stuff on dual booting

lilo is pretty handy, I use that to boot between XP and Slackware.
