Actually under NT it doesn't have native support. It won't let you
resize partitions and such unless you go to DOS or 95. Having a DOS
bootable floppy with the text version of partition magic
(pqmagict.exe) should be required for anyone who uses more than 1 OS.
I haven't used the Boot Manager, but if you've installed 95/98 then NT
then Linux, you'll have LILO popup before the NTLoader. So you can
choose NT or Linux with LILO and then choose Win98 from NTLoader (at
least, that's my current setup).
