It's difficult to answer this problem since you do not give enough details
about your problem. Answer these questions, and I can help you out:
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE><BLOCKQuote>
1. Do you have LILO installed?
2. What partitions and drives are all the OS's on?

Hi there,
</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>
Current;y I'm able to have the multi-boot option. But I had another
question to seek your advise that is I install another linux (<A HREF="http://linux.corel.com/">Corel</A> Linux)
and the installation goes smoothly but when at the login screen, the screen
starts to brink and it starts when try to start the <A HREF="http://www.kde.org/">KDE</A> display manager.
Pls advise.
</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>
Regards and thanks
</STRONG></P>

Right, here's a solution. As far as I can tell, all you need to do is edit
your <TT>/etc/lilo.conf</TT> file to include the following text:
</EM></FONT></STRONG></P>
<pre><strong>boot=/dev/hda
read-only
prompt
timeout=50
vga=ext
#Windows 98
other=/dev/hda1
label=dos
table=/dev/hda
#Linux
image=/boot/linux #Put the name of your kernel here
root=/dev/hda3
label=linux
#Windows NT
other=/dev/hda2
label=winnt
table=/dev/hda
</strong></pre>
<P><STRONG><FONT COLOR="#000066"><EM>
You can edit it by typing:
</EM></FONT></STRONG></P>
<pre><strong>pico /etc/lilo.conf
</strong></pre>
<P><STRONG><FONT COLOR="#000066"><EM>
Then type:
</EM></FONT></STRONG></P>
<pre><strong>lilo
</strong></pre>
<P><STRONG><FONT COLOR="#000066"><EM>
To install lilo to the MBR
</EM></FONT></STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG><FONT COLOR="#000066"><EM>
Obviously, you can use any text editor. That should solve your problem,
unsless of course something else is wrong
