hi,
install Mandrake on ur next 5 gb partion, take care during its installation
write boot record on root partion not on mbr.
append two lines in ur existing linux lilo file
other=/dev/hdaN
label=Mandrake
save it and run #lilo -v
note:above N is ur mandrake's root partition no.
repeat this process for other distro
