Objet: Re: [expert] Boot Managers
Windows is going to disable the Boot Manager anyway, and it
has to have a primary partition to itself; so I would start
with that. OS/2 will do fine in an extended partition, so
from that point of view it does not greatly matter whether
you install it before or after linux; but the OS/2 fdisk
seems to be touchier than linux which might make it good
idea to install it second. Also, be aware that if the
extended partition itself goes beyond the 1024 cylinder
limit OS/2 will not be able to boot. If you have Partition
Magic, which started life as an OS/2 program, that might be
a good way to make all the partitions. Then it wouldn't
matter whether you installed OS/2 or linux first.
