    get kalyway not to over write mbr?????

    i currently got
    160gb
    20gb xp pro
    5gb open suse
    20gb reserved for osx kalyway
    rest data partition
    using grub as boot loader

    how do i install kalyway without it over writing my grub boot loader ?!?!?!
    i am confused , unless after installing kalyway i got to boot into win98 start up disk and use fdisk to set xp as my acgtive parition again ? then use chain file loader to add option for osx . but then how would i get linux back ?!?!

    no clue, but after installing your osx stuff potentially overwriting grub, all youd need to do is boot a linux rescue system off a usb stick and reinstall grub.
    grub, i suppose, should be able to boot osx, not sure though.
