I have added Stormix and Peanut to the original Win98/Mandrake dual boot
that Mandrake 7.1 provided for me. I told both installers not to
install LILO, then edited /boot/grub/menu.lst to add the new distro. I
am not clear on what the proper parameters for the "dump" and "fsck"
menu.lst entries should be but I followed the form of the original entry
for Mandrake and it boots. hth
