[newbie] dual booting with win2k and linux

[Kenji Wakabayashi]

Hi everyone,  my problem is this: at the moment I am running win98 and I
would like to switch to a dual booting system (Windows2000 and Linux
Mandrake 7.0). I have been told that I should install Windows2000 first
then Mandrake 7.0. Is this the right way to go? Will I have trouble
installing Mandrake7.0 on a NTFS hard drive? Does anybody have any
suggestions on the best route to take?

Thanks for any help that you all may provide.
