I think you guys are right. Now, I got further question. I have a 22 GB hard drive which I want to install Win98 and Linux on it. I would like to have 10GB space for Win98.
1) How should I partition my harddrive and still be able to put Linux's boot partition before the first 8GB? 2) Is it possible to install the Linux at the first 12GB and then install Win98 afterward? But by doing this, how can I restore the Lilo after I boot into 98? ACtaully, can win98 be put in the last 10GB? 3) In my case, actually how big of a partition I need to reserve for the /boot so that it is still in the first 1024 cylinders?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I think SUSE did a great job at least it recognized my Ultra66 automatically which Mandrake and Redhat cannot do. Anyone know why?

You must also install Windows' boot partition within the first 1024 cyl. I have found Windows98 to be very flaky using anything past 8GB, except when the hard disk is not partitioned. I have cyl 1-1022 Win98 cyl 1023 linux /boot cyl 1024 plus extended with various Linux logical partitions, and swap. This limits me to 8GB for Windows, but that is more than enough!! :) cll
