I've a multiboot system with Win98 W2K server and suse 7.0.
It's possible to make a boot for LINUX if your Win partition is in FAT.
I choose to boot on linux with a floppy disk
Hope that is usefull

Julien

It's perfectly possible. For a while, I ran a triple-boot 98/2000/SuSE 7.1 box. First, you install '98, then Win2k, then SuSE. Win2k should auto-set the ability to dual-boot 98 or 2k, then you follow the instructions in the manual (for 7.2 it's "4.7.2 Windows NT and Linux on One Hard Disk"); dd a boot image into a FAT partition and edit 2000's boot.ini to include it as an option. Worked fine until I upgraded my motherboard to an A7V, at which point '98 decided it really didn't like the Promise ATA-100 controller, so I stopped using '98. (And I hardly ever use Win2k either any more; after all, games are all pretty similar when it comes down to it.) cheers, Gideon.
