I just tested something yesterday which tells me that won't work. Suse uses reiserfs as its default file system, but DSL will not boot on reiser. So unless you installed suse to ext2/ext3, you'll need to make yourself a new partition.
The grub menu.lst in suse is setup fairly simply, actually. There are 3 lines for each system: 1) the title, which will be displayed when you choose your operating system. 2) the kernel line, which specifies which kernel to use, the system root for that kernel, and any config options (the F2 list). 3) the initrd is a ramdisk used during the initial setup.
Your entry would look something like this, assuming that DSL is on hda2:
Code Sample
title Damn Small Linux kernel (hd0,1)/boot/isolinux/linux24 root=/dev/hda2 dsl frugal vga=794 dma initrd (hd0,1)/boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz
The (hd0,1) is equivalent to hda2 (0 = first drive, 1 = second partition)
You can choose which operating system to run automatically with the "default #" line at the beginning of the file.Okay... So, no matter what, I'm doomed to create a new partition.
Ugh... I just hope I don't hose my entire HD trying to do that.
What is the name of that utility that will optimize the drive? I'm sure that having freed up all that space, it could use a little bit of rearranging.
