boot manager question


I am looking to triple boot a system. I do not have Linux running on it yet, but 2 versions of windows ( for the old DOS ). There is already a boot manager that was automatically set up when the 2nd windows was installed. I am looking to install Mandrake Linux. How can I either add it to the current boot manager, or set up another boot manager to handle all 3 OS's

Thanks!

Mandrake boot loader

When you install Mandrake Linux, part of the installation will be to set up a new bootloader which will be called either lilo or grub. You will describe all three OSs and where they are located to the Mandrake install program and Mandrake will configure and install a triple boot loader for you.
