Well, I don't know how you plan to "move LILO to a floppy" but doing it manually would certainly not be easier for a n00b. Didn't you create a Linux boot disk at SuSe install time?  It should have asked you if you wanted to create one. If not Yast should have an option to create a boot disk (and it probably will just run the "mkbootdisk" command).

Hehe, the "over the top" was directed to Hoojchoons  
And Voidman, I thought I could move the LILO bootloader to another location, including a floppy but it doesn't seem to work.
There is such an option in YAST but .....

Heh, I'm posting this from work as I was unable to boot neither Linux nor Windows yesterday night, guess my first Linux install wasn't that succesful after all  ;)
Well Linux was fine but Windows was fubar.
Win2K repair did nothing, when booting from harddrive all I got was a black screen full of "1" and "0", tried to boot Linux from the boot disk, same result, except that I got a screen full of "1001" and stuff like that.
So I guess I'm back to start, gonna do a fresh install of Win2K and Linux on another drive and try to retrieve my data by setting the actual drive as slave.
Hope it will work this time, any tips on dual booting Win2K/Linux other than not setting up LILO in the MBR?

Thanks all for the help anyway, I guess these are the kind of things that happen during a learning process  ;)

Calum:
You should really try hoojchoons' solution there before giving up on it, i find that trying things is a lot easier than reading about them...

Ice-9:
Hehe, I'd like to try out his solution (even if it seems difficult at first) but I can't boot at all anymore, not even with the Linux boot disk .....
