Well, W2 installed it's bootloader without asking any questions so I'm stuck 
with it at the moment.....:-)
About W2 boot.ini could you show me an example of how it might look like with

That's what I was afraid of therefore I am a bit nervous what to do. I am 
Linux centered, SuSE is my default OS, but I just don't know how Lilo works 
with W2.
