Angry Tripple boot woes


Normally I dont have any problems setting up a dual boot with Mandrake and Win 98, but I had a spare 10 gig partition and thought I'd throw Suse 9.1 on as well. however the Suse setup wouldnt recognize the other linux partition and Suse wanted to install over the top of Mandy.
Grr
So with nothing to lose I let it and what the hell, I installed mandy again in the spare 10 g but lilo would only boot Mandy and Windows
arggghh
start again
Now Mandy has the whole 20 g
but
how do you go about telling either Suse or Mandrake to play nicely together.
I'm used to custom partitioning with Mandy and thought I had it sussed but lilo still wouldnt boot Suse.
any help ??

Suse needs a partitiong gui like Mandys !

live long and prosper

You have to edit either lilo.conf or menu.lst for grub. I'm a whole lot better at grub but it sounds like you have lilo at the moment. Lilo.conf is in /etc so you can check that out and googel lilo.conf to see how you might add another entry. If you have grub or re-install SusE so that grub takes over, reply and I'll step you through that one.

A Guide on Multibooting

Look at the image= statements in the lilo.conf (at the bottom of the post).

Hope that helps.
