Chris,

I played with multiboot for a number of months and finally ordered System Commander Deluxe when I ordered 5.3. I received them about a week ago. My first hd is 8gb and configured with DOS,95, and NT, the second hd is Linux with LILO on its boot sector. The DOS partition is the first partition with SCD installed. This has proven to be a much superior setup for me than having to repeatedly play with the different boot loaders whenever I add or change OS's. Hopr this helps.

I am trying to boot my Windows NT/4 disk with LILO in order to switch with Linux. I found in a book that for booting from the secondary disks, I have to use the loader "any_d.b". But I can't find this loader in the S.u.S.E. 5.3 directory /boot. I s there a way to gernerate it or to get it easily ? Thanks. Christophe Roux ch_roux@club-internet.fr

I am doing a multiboot with NT; no problems. Do not need additional boot managers. You can make the NT bootloader boot linux even if NT is on a primary NTFS partition. I did the whole works in about 10 minutes. Easy to do. There is a howto on it if you search for NT+linux boot howto or something like that.

Folks, If you want to boot Linux from the NT boot menu use the following command in an xterm or at the console... dd if=/dev/hdxx of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 Where xx represents the location of your root partition. Copy the resultant file (/bootsect.lnx) to C:\, and add a line to boot.ini, something like: c:\bootsect.lnx="S.u.S.E. Linux" Alan. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
