    Ok I have Slackware 10, and XP, and the problem I have is, hwo do I show which OS I want to Boot. I have a dell 4600, and they have their own crap on my Hard Drive, like a 40 mb utility partition or something like that. I tried BootMagic, but that only finds NTFS or FAT,FAT32 partitions. Any help?

    mandrake should have a bootloader, grub or lilo
    some people dont like lilo, but it worked for me the whole 10 minutes that i had it
    (that was the boot loader in debian, seemed OK)
    hell of lot simpler then going third party for a boot manager IMO
    i was on a bootloader trip before i installed linux...
    found it to be more trouble than its worth
    tried acronis OS selector...i wouldnt recommend it
    I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
    I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well.
    I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
    I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down.

    slackware should have installed a boot manager when you installed it unless you disabled that option...

    so you'll need to get grub or some otehr boot loader and insatll that (i have no idea how).
