When I install Win95, it will replace Grub, right?

Yes.

Question: Can I just restore Grub and have dual boot capabilities back or must I start over?

Yes. Before installing Win95, put Grub onto a floppy so that you can get back into linux, then install Windows. Now, use the floppy to get back into linux and run the YaST bootloader module. Should configure it for you, I think, but you can add the windows section manually if needed (I'm sure someone here can give you the necessary details).

The floppy is not necessary.

Indeed.

You can use the SUSE 9.1 CD1 to boot in rescue mode, mount your rootfs in /mnt, then chroot /mnt, and

Yess, you're on track, I would do that...

"grub-install".

In a chroot environment, I would do 'grub < /etc/grub.conf/' That's what YaST would do. ;)

Then "exit", umount /mnt, reboot.

After that, add a windows section in /boot/grub/menu.lst Manually or with YaST.

Yes. :) Cheers, Leen
