I wish to setup on the same hard disk (500GB):
Ubuntu 9.04 (64 bit)
Debian 5.01 (64 bit)
MS Windows Vista Home Premium (64 bit)
MS Windows 98 (32 bit)
MS Windows XP (32 bit)
Make sure you install Win98 first, then XP, then Vista, then install the
first Linux grub to the MBR and then next Linux grub to root and copy
the boot syntax from the second Linux to the first Linux
/boot/grub/menu.lst.
I want to allocate 50GB for each.
Why so much for each OS, why not use a shared partition for your
personal files, make it FAT32 OR NTFS and it can be shared by all, use
5GB for 98, 20GB for XP and 40GB for Vista and 10GB for each Linux is
more than enough, just make the last extended partition a shared
partition and make it big, if you want you can make one shared partition
for Linux and one for Windows too.
1) Is this possible?
Yes, I have similar installs on several laptops and desktops.
2) How do I setup grub (or lilo) to do this?
3) What order do I install each?
4) How should I handle setting up the partitions?
You may want to use a live cd like "parted magic" or "gparted" to setup
the partitions ahead of time and don't forget to make a swap partition,
one or two GB's for swap will be more than enough.
The layout would be Windows, Windows, Windows and the the extended
partition, swap, Linux, Linux and then the shared partition/s.
5) Any special tips?
Nope, sounds like you have it all figured out. :)
