Fw: [SLE] I ... (dual boot with WinME) UPDATE!!

2 Aug 2002

      Oliver,

How would this affect my dual-boot system?

Unfortunately I need the WinME installation as I only have a winmodem and I keep
track of personal and biz accounts in MS Money.

BTW with the "booting installed sys" from CD1 I also cannot "modprobe ppa" to
mount/access my Parallel port zip100 drive.

Thanks for the help.
However "booting installed sys" from CD1 doesn't work entirely, it won't
load
USB. Also the fsck fails
as filesys is not read-only.
That because of the fact SuSE cannot load the parameters from your
boot-floppy.

What I really want is the graphic boot menu to choose win, Linux 2.2, Linux
2.4,
mem-test etc.
that you get with the initial boot-floppy created on installation. I can't
find
any info (in suse-help)
on how to do that, unless I'm looking in the wrong places!
Suggestion: Why don't you install Lilo on the MBR? That would be done by
running the setup again, then booting the installed system, login as
root and run /sbin/lilo.
As far as I can remember you can also use Yast to determine where to
install lilo - on the MBR or on boot-disk.
