Take two hard disks. Insert the largest as hda. Make a small FAT32 Primary Partition, leaving space for linux. Install Win98 on this. Remove. Insert the other harddrive. Install Win2k or XP(shudder). Remove. Insert large (98) as Master and w2k as slave. Install linux. Edit LILO for two "other" boot options (copy and paste) edit "hda1" to read "hdb1". Voila, backwards, sideways and other compatability. Out of pocket for two crappy OSes but hey. If i missed a step, someone will point it out for me. -- Michael
