No, I don't appear to have that either.  Assuming I use lilo to boot 
mandrake (big assume) would my lilo.conf entries be thus:

image=/mnt/fedora/boot/vmlinuz
    label=fedora
    root=/dev/hdb1
    initrd=/mnt/fedora/boot/initrd.img

image=/mnt/suse/boot/vmlinuz
    label=suse
    root=/dev/hdb5
    initrd=/mnt/suse/boot/initrd

1 - it appears that I can just point to vmlinz in both cases as they are 
symlinks to the current vmlinuz files (same for initrd)?
2 - do I need the /mnt/XXX/ or can I just say something like 
image=/boot/vmlinuz?
