Jeffrey, I can give you another answer on it.
If I have to setup dual boot system with win98 & win2k, I will do the
simplest way. I would create a partition for win98, leave the rest of
harddisk untouched, install win98 on its partition. Then I can
shutdown/reboot the pc from win2k cd, let win2k manage the rest "untouched"
harddisk to create its own partition, and install win2k on its partition.
this way, win2k will auto create a win98/win2k dual boot machine. everytime
you turn on the pc, you will be asked to boot into windows or win2k. Select
windows for win98, win2k for win2k.
If you need win98, NT/win2k, linux, you should install win98 first, NT/win2k
second, linux last, and Linux will auto create multi-boot system for you. No
boot manager should be used until you need win95/win98 dual boot or
something similar.
