Hello.

I have a question regarding the installation of SuSE.  Is it possible to 
install SuSE with the following configuration:

Drive 1 contains Windows, 9x in a FAT32 partition which occupies the entire 
drive.
Drives 2, 3 and 4 are FAT32 drives, used for data storage.

Drive 5 is set aside for SuSE.

I have managed to get it installed with this configuration, but I then 
can't find a way to boot to Linux.  I followed the recommended Lilo 
installation, I.E., wrote the Lilo to floppy.  However, when it comes to 
boot time, the computer refuses to boot from the floppy SuSE created.  I 
would prefer to use a boot manager on my first drive to boot Linux, but 
this doesn't want to work either.  The manager finds the Linux 
configuration ok, but says it is non-bootable.  Any suggestions please, 
bearing in mind that I'm still new to Linux.

Thanks.



Kind regards, Gordon Smith.
