Multi linux distributions!!

Hi to all @ LQ!!
I already had mandrake and windows in my 10gb HD, then today i installed FC3 into one of the partitions of my other 80gb HD.
I finished the FC3 installation and when i rebooted, the GRUB only shows the FC3. I could select "Other", but it straight goes into windows xp.

Why cant i see my Mandrake?
what might be the cause and what can i do have multiple linux os's and to have it kind of a menue on boot up?

Thanx for the time effort,
Regards Azzath.

You have to go into your /etc/grub.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst and add an entry for your new Linux installation.

Read the man pages on grub for more information.

Next time you install multiple distros, make sure you do not overwrite the MBR. Just add the new Linux entry manually.
