I've just installed Suse on my machine which already had Fedora and XP. I've 
some how managed to screw up the menu.lst file and now I can't boot into 
anything but XP which entirely defeats the purpose of having installed Linux 
to begin with. I can access the file system with my Knoppix disk and I can 
get to the menu.lst file but I can't write to it. I don't have permission. 
The file is set as rw -- -- --. I can read it by mnt/hda6/boot/grub and 
vi'ing the file but I can't change anything.
How can I edit the menu.lst file and thus solve my boot up problems? 
Thanks.
