RHEL 3.0 and SuSE 9.0

[Ammar Nassaj]

Hallo Ilya,

thanks for your hints.  

Well, i installed Redhat on another physical hard disk
and therefore it should be not on the same partition
as Suse. 

when running cfdisk, i get the error message: Command
not found. It seems I do not have this tool.

Iam using now Grup boot manager and do not know how to
change to Lilo. the grup file (and lilo file) are
shown below. Can you advice me please what to do next?


As mensioned previously, windows and Suse are
installed on the first hard disk (Window on partition
C. Partitions D and E were reserved for Windows as
well. Suse was installed on the rest of this hard
disk). 

Thanks alot. 
Ammar
