I have always found that if you boot from the linux installation DVD and go to 'boot installed OS' then it leaves the install manager and boots straight into windows. Where do you specify the option to boot to linux??
Sounds like you need to boot the DVD and use the 'rescue system'. Then mount your root partition (and /boot if its a diff partition) and then run lilo to rewrite the MBR.

Whoops.
Now the machine boots straight into Windoze without even asking what I
want
to boot. How do I get it to ask me at startup? Do I have to re-install
SuSE?
LILO?
Please help.
No problem. Just use the bootable cd to "boot an installed system", and tell it to boot your linux system, then edit /etc/lilo.conf to add a windows partition, then run /sbin/lilo.
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20- root = /dev/hd6 label = linux restricted
other = /dev/hda2 label = windows table = /dev/hda password = gatescrap
