You can also have 98 and 2000 coexist on one partition.  I split
my HD in half, with Slack on one side and Win98/Win2k on the other.
Slackware is ext2, of course, and the Windows side is FAT 32.  One thing
to keep in mind:  Win2k partitions are completely readable from linux.  That's
why I kept mine FAT32, but this has probably been fixed by now.  

Here's the order of partitioning/formatting:

Use Windows to split the partitions and install Win98 first.  Then install 
linux on the other and get lilo working.  Last, add Win2k -- it won't 
mess up the MBR, but it does add it's own little boot menu when you
boot the DOS side of the drive.

HTH,
Dave
