I would like to triple boot Windows 2000, Windows 98, and red hat linux.. Here is the scenario: I have Win2k installed on my primary master drive (c:, apx 8 gig) using NTFS. I have a 10 gig drive slaved off of this that I would like to install Win98 and linux on. I do not want to mess with my Win2k drive - just install the other two and leave this one alone.. Is this possible? What file systems should I use for 98 and linux? If someone could help, that would be great .. or even point me to a site if there is one on this subject... Thanks!

hi; I did that before with the same disks you have. But, I think Win98 must go into a primary partition. Linux is smart enough to deal with every disk space. Your 2nd problem is that Win98 is better to be installed before Win2k. Again Linux doesn't care about that. What I did was I installed DOS 6.2 and Win98 on the first partition of drive 1, then FreeBSD on the 2nd partition. Linux and Win2k were on 2nd drive. That's 5 OSs. Remember that all Windows and DOS write the boot to the MBR. There's section about all this in the Linux HOWTOs at www.linuxdoc.org and also on Redhat techs. good luck

A program I may recommend is PartitionMagic and BootMagic. That will let you VERY easily set up the partitions you want with the filesystems you want (FAT32 for the WINx, linux e2fs for linux) and switch between them very easily with a GUI at bootup. Tom
