Well, my one major complaint against SuSE is the lack of good documentation.  I
know that RedHat kicks the crap out of SuSE with regard to this, and that SuSE
better get its butt in gear if it wants to compete (in the US) with
distributions supported by the likes of Netscape and Intel. I have followed
exactly the instructions for a boot menu under windoze95 on p. 39 of the SuSE
5.3 manual.  It doesn't work!!! The only way that I can get anything to work is
to just call "loadlin hda6" from my autoexec.bat, and to forget about anything
regarding linux in my config.sys.  

Can someone who has successfully gotten a boot menu running under win95
PLEASE send me a copy of their autoexec.bat, config.sys, and the files in the
loadlin directory of the root dos/win drive. ( I have to keep microslop windows
around for the girlfriend)

I am giving SuSE every chance, but when something like this happens it is hard.

And, last question, how is it that one really sets up this loadlin stuff in the
first place?  You can run "setup" on the CD, but this of course copies the
image of a generic kernel to the newly created loadlin directory, rather than
the kernel that one has customized.

THX in advance
