Linux, WInNT4.0 (NTFS), & Win98(beta3) multiple boot?

[George]

Anyone have experience with Linux, WinNT4 (ntfs) & and Win98 (fat32)
multiple boot. I had Win95, WinNT & Linux booting from drive c: (fat16)
using ntldr. I use bootpart to add partitions to boot.

Please Reply to: may...@amnix.com

Thanks
George

I was running Linux with the lilo boot manager. Win 98 ate it for dinner. I
was sick to screwing with UNIX so I never bothered to get it back. You can not
use Win 98 with FAT32 with NT4.0 if you want to see both filesystems from
either OS's.

By using System commander and with multiple partition on your hard disk.
These OS can co-exist on your computer.

Scew partitions man. Keep a harddrive for each OS. Drives are cheap, data
recovery isn't. Linux can run on a 500 meg hd with tons of room to spare. 98
and NT are pigs.

but a first partition of 4meg will do
