I haven't done this, but it should be possible to do. There was actually
a Linux tar.gz you can get from
ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/beos/beos/, which contains the same disk
image as the Windows version. Your only problem with using the Windows
version in Linux would be opening it up - could try unzip. You should be
able to take this image, mount it on /beos, add an entry to LILO and
reboot.
If you search through this Slashdot story you should find some useful
hints - <http://slashdot.org/articles/00/03/28/0757228.shtml>
And this page tells you how to use the disk image inside the archive to
burn a BeOS installation CD.
