   I've currently got a number of OSes (admittedly, most of which are M$)
   booting from the NT boot menu, including SuSE 6.

   The thing is, you need at least a small FAT16 partition as the active
   primary partition on the first hard disk.  On the assumption that is the
   case, install your OSes wherever you want them.

   I have

   /dev/hda1   Bootable 30Mb partition
   /dev/hda5   NTFS - NT Workstation 4
   /dev/hda6   NTFS - NT Server 4
   /dev/hda7   NTFS - NT Server 4 data
   /dev/hdb1   Ext2 - Linux
   /dev/hdb2   Swap - Linux
   /dev/hdc1   FAT32 - Win98

This looks very  nice, very maintainable.
Under which OS did you partition the drives?  Once I've made any
DOS partitions with Linux (and it's a long story why I had to) first, NT
Workstation (I don't have Server) refuses to install to them, or even
repartition them.  This is probably a NT problem, but I'd like to know
if it's possible to install NT over partitions created in SuSE6.0.

Best,
jim bennett
