Hi William... In a nut shell... the idea is to install windows 98 first making sure to leave enough unused disk space for Linux; Configure any plug and play devices via Windows; Install Linux; When installing LILO do NOT install it into the MBR. Instead, Install it on the Linux partition. I have played with several different multi-boot setups over the years. Currently I am using a product called System Commander. SC made it simple to have a 5 system boot setup consisting of Linux, OS/2, Win95, WinNT, and DR-DOS. A setup like this would have been a royal PITA with out it.
