    At what point do you get the blank screen?

    Have you checked the install disk checksum? It might have been a bad download or burn.

    I get the problem at the begin of the installation.

    Do you think that it is possible to installa tree OS on one machine ?
    It is what I want.

    When installation susue alone it goes wel but when trying this trial boot, I cannot succed.

    thanx

    It is certainly possible to install 3 (and many more) operating systems on a single computer. Did you download the Opensuse or purchase it? If a download, did you follow instructions to do md5 check? Did you burn it as an iso image at a low speed? Have you tried the CD in another computer?

    On boot of the install DVD, have you tried to manually define the video mode before install, something like 1024x768 ?
    You just WON the game!
