I want to setup Redhat Linux,Win98 & Win2000 server on a 17.2GB Seagate Harddisk with LILO as primary boot loader and NTLDR as secondary boot loader.I have tried it twice but both times LILO failed to work.Any Suggestions?
Thanks.

I tried the same sequence but linux partition manager refused to make partitions such as boot,ext2 and thus install was aborted.Even when I was able to make partitions,boot loader failed to work.I am using Redhat Linux 6.1
Thanks.

Simplist solution I know:

(pre-existing drive partitions and up-to-date Linux)

1. Install W98 first

2. Install W2K -W2k's boot loader now allows to toggle between W2K and W98.

3. Install Linux and put GRUB in Master boot record of hda or sda - GRUB now allows you to boot Linux or W2K's boot loader from which you can choose W2K or W98

Good luck.

RH6.1 may be recent enough (RH7.0 is better) notice I said "pre-existing drive partitions." Use Partition Magic 5.x from Win98 to create the Linux ext2 and Linux swap partitions as well as an ntfs partiton or free space for Win2k prior to installing W2k and Linux.

EDIT: note; RH6.1 may come with the version of LILO that has an 8GB drive size limitation.

I will try again with Partition Manager 5 and RH 6.2
