Quad booting - Win98 + XP + Mandrake + Knoppix

[bazwaldo]

Hi,

Please can anyone help with this?

I have just installed Knoppix 3.2 on my 2nd hard drive which already has Mandrake 9.1 on it with Lilo working nicely with Win98 + XP on my main hard drive.

I opted to install Lilo again during the Knoppix install but there is only one Linux entry ( the Mandrake install ) listed in the Lilo boot screen. I also made a boot floppy so I can access the install no problem.

Do I have to edit the Mandrake lilo config file and add an entry for the Knoppix install location?
I'm not sure how to do this, can I have 2 Linux entries or does each have some sort of linked entry?
What I would like to have is one listing for Mandrake and one for Knoppix.
My drives are partitioned as follows:-

hda ---- various Windows partitions

hdb1 ---- Mandrake Root
hdb5 ---- Mandrake Swap
hdb6 ---- Mandrake Home

hdb7 ---- Knoppix Swap
hdb8 ---- Knoppix Root

I am still a Newbie ( after 2 years playing with Linux!! ) so please forgive anything above which may seem daft!

Thanks.

hi,
try editing /etc/lilo.conf in your mandrake:
add the lines:

other=/dev/hdb8
  label="Knoppix"

after that run:
lilo
,I guess reboot and your problem is solved ..
