Since you want to use the Mandrake boot loader, simply boot up Mandrake and add a boot entry, and specify the SuSE partition/kernel. Should be simple enough.
more detailed answer... 1) Before installing SuSE, create a mandrake boot floppy for your current settings. 2) Install SuSE. This, of course overwrites the mandrake boot loader on your hard drive. That is why you created the floppy in step 1. 3) After SuSE is installed, boot to mandrake from your floppy. Update the mandrake boot loader by adding a new entry for SuSE, and write it to your hard drive. This will overwrite the bootloader installed by SuSE in step 2, but will give you back all you had before, and a new entry for SuSE. Seán
