Booting OS's
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?

Re: Booting OS's
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 :P
(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

Re: Booting OS's
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).
