my hdd


/dev/hda1 (c windows) about 6.9 GB
/dev/hda5 (was D not suse 9.1 personal for testing) about 6.9 GB
/dev/hda6 (swap) 265 mb
/dev/hda7 Slackware 10.0 (13 < GB)


i saw that my /dev/hda5 is free and unused so i have a suse 9.1 personal Cd download from net & i install it

Of course Slackware is my main OS and i want optioin in suse boot to load slackware

Actualy you can all you have to do is to add the entry in the /etc/lilo.conf so that the slackware entry appear, my lilo entry :

# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda2
label = Linux
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends

you change the root partition accordingly, remember to lilo in the shell after altering the lilo.conf and that's all...

If you are looking to add a suse selection in lilo you need to go in and edit /etc/lilo.conf and goto the boot section. At the boot section you should see at least one entry for slackware. Go ahead and copy that one, paste it under it, then change the settings to suse stuffs. You need to know where your kernel is in suse and thats about it. You might also just be able to add this line:
Code:
other=/dev/hda5
label=Suse-9.1

lilo is your bootloader right? Also did you "/sbin/lilo" after you edited the lilo.conf file? If not then you need to.
