Before I do research on how to do this, it is possible to do this right, on a 2 drive box, with SUSE 8.0 on 1 drive, Debian and 98se splitting the other? I'm already dual booting fwiw.. Thank you for your time.

LILO and GRUB will boot as many systems as you have installed. I routinely have several boots installed for GRUB and formerly had about the same for LILO. I usually have a line for the current kernel and the failsafe kernel. (And of course Windows that I maintain only when I have a need to talk to my ISP droids).

Yeah. it can be done. Your most foolproof method is to make a small /dev/hda1 (50 megs) to hold your kernels and mount /boot there, then and mark /dev/hda2 active, and install 98se there. Have you installed yet, if not it pays to plan ahead on partitions. It usually makes it easier to partition first with a linux bootdisk, then install 98se onto the active c drive. Then go ahead and install linux, and lilo should setup easy. Making a /dev/hda1 for /boot is not always needed with modern bioses, but it is absolutely foolproof, that's why I recommend doing it. -- I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
