Newton,
I am relatively new to Linux and the CentOS Distro and I wanted a dual boot
machine, XP and CentOS.
(At this point I don't know how to tell you to recover your SUSE
installation by modifying the MBR, but you may just repeat the SUSE
installation first)
Here is what I discovered, it is simple but it works for now.
During the CentOS installation, you will get a selection for the "default"
OS to boot up using GRUB. Just rename "other" to Suse and select that as the
default.
Then CentOS will complete the installation on your "spare" partition. When
the machine reboots, you will have 3 seconds to choose CentOS or let the
Suse "default" boot up.
I still want to get into the "boot scripts" and learn about them, but for
now I am satisfied with my machine boot up options.
Let me know how you make out.
Thanks,
David
