Hi
This sound very promising!
Does anyone knows if win-2000 can be installed to an existing empty partition, that I would create with Linux?
Jaska.
Install or follow this steps: a. win98 (your existing OS) or install first, format the harddisk to at least three partition of however size you want; b. win2k, no need to be the first partition, use NTFS only if your win98 don't need to read info from win2k partition; c. Linux, use whatever remaining space on harddisk, sub-divide to /boot, /home, / and swap (4 partitions) if possible. Install lilo at MBR and you will see all the three OS, I have done win98/2k/RH7.1/SuSE7.3 all in one harddisk (60GB) and all work fine so fine. Be careful when fdisk your harddisk and divide the space carefully, it can be very confusing. Good luck. Dennis/sg

Hi
Has anyone done this before:
Laptop with pre-installed win-98.
We want to add SuSE 7.3 and win-2000, and be able to boot them (LILO?) all from HD.
This depends on which OS. Win98 wants to be on the first partition, so installing it first is okay, and then linux. I recently installed WinXP and linux, and I actually installed linux first. WinXP now allows you to choose which partition to install to. I thinks Win2000 also allows this, but don't quote me.
Is this possible, and if it is, what is the installation sequence?
Jaska.
