Oh, yeah...make a boot floppy, 'cause Windows is going to
wipe the MBR clean
Yup, when you re-install Win98, it's gonna wipe the MBR, and LILO won't be
there any more. Make sure you have a boot dosk if you keep LILO in the MBR so
you can get back into Linux to fix it.

Typing ' fdisk /? ' won't return the /mbr option tho, as it's
undocumented.

make sure that you put a 10-15 Mb partition at the beginning of your disk
and mount it as /boot under linux to avoid problems when installing lilo
(i'm assuming that you're installing linux... :)
Other than that it mostly depends on what you want to do.
