There is some way to have linux and a hide windows in a PC, I mean that if I turn on my computer it will directly load linux (only linux option in LILO) and if I turn on the computer with a boot disk I can load windows 98 only, theres some way to do this? how I made the boot disk so I can start windows 98?

To make a win98 bootdisk, go to your control panel, choose add/remove software, then bootdisk-tab. you'll probably need the win98-cd or let it point to c:\windows\options\install
or you could go to bootdisk.com.to remove windows from the lilo bootmenu, edit /etc/lilo.conf
remove the part for the windowsoption, save and quit the editor and run lilo from the commandline to update your bootrecord.
PS, I wouldn't recommand this, as booting windows from a bootdisk is slow and will only bring you in dos, unless you change the autoexec.bat.
If you want people not to boot windows, I would leave windows in the lilomenu, but set a password to the windowsoption. I don't know exactly how to do this, but you can do 'man lilo.conf' or do a search in google...Johan
