I've move from a dual boot Windows 2K/Linux setup to a W2K/98 (so as to support legacy hardware drivers) and am trying to install a Linux partition (possibly with Lilo on a floppy in case if I can't get it onto the MBR) . Problem is I can't even get to stage one - I can't get the system to boot from the Linux DVD (SuSE 7.1) so I can't even get to the first stage for this. I've set the boot order in the bios but no luck. Any idea why?
Ok - slightly cheeky question on a Linux forum - anyone know (or have a good URL for it) how the set up the W2K boot managerto recognise my Linux installation so that don't have to boot off the floppy? BTW all three partitions seem to work fine at present.

Funnily enough looking on MSDN Microsoft are not too keen to tell you how to do this either!

that would probably be a case for littlewhitedog - www.littlewhitedog.com, thereīs a sort of manual on how to set up the w2k bootloader to handle the dual boot - should work for triple boot as well, i guess. itīs under reviews -> other.
