To check whether LILO is installed in you mbr, you check for a line with boot=... in /etc/lilo.conf. If it lists a device such as sev/hda (or /dev/sda for SCSI) it's in the mbr, if it's something like /dev/hda1 it's on a partition. To boot your SuSE, just copy it's kernel to the directory where your other (redhat) kernels are, add a section to /etc/lilo.conf that boots it and run lilo. for example: image = /boot/vmlinuz.suse label = suse root = /dev/hda7 hth,

Hello,
I've the 7.1 Pro edition. I'm trying to install it on an OmniBook 6000 from HP. First there is a partition with Win2K$. I've already instal a Red Hat 7.0 on it all is fine. I can make the choice on startup between Linux on Dos.
I've tried to install the SuSE 7.1, and on rebooting the system, I've got the LI and nothing else.. So I reinstall the Red Hat and got access to both Linux and Windows. What can I do to check if LiLO was installed on the MBR rather than the Linux Partition ?
What must be checked to get SuSe running on my laptop. Thanks for your help
