[techtalk] Installing Suse Linux on Second Hard Drive

[Phil Savoie]

Hi There,

If not during the install you are not asked what OS you would like to boot 
by default as in RedHat, I believe you may change an entry in lilo.conf 
under the /etc directory.  I can't remember off the top of my head which 
entry, but it is fairly obvious.  Once the change has been saved, run lilo 
to ensure the change will take place.  Hope this helps you,

Phil
