Hi,

1.Using fdisk make 3 partitions say 2+3+ 3.2 GB. One will be primary dos
partition and the other 2 will be extended.
2. Install win98 on the primary partition. say c:
3. Install NT on the next partition say d:
4. Then proceed with Linux installation by making 2 partitions in the
unpartitioned space. one should be linux native and the other swap.
Swap can be around about 125M
5. Make a boot floppy and *don't* install lilo.
6.After installation, boot with linux boot disk
7. Login as root, the issue the following commands
    #dd if=/dev/hd??  of=boot.lnx  bs=512 count=1(replace ?? with the
partition on which linux native    is residing. For Ex: hda5 hdb5 etc)
Copy the file boot.lnx to a
#mcopy boot.lnx a:
8.Boot the system and go to win98. Issue the following commands.
   copy the file boot.lnx from a:
   c:\>copy a:boot.lnx
 c:\>attrib -s -r boot.ini
    c:\>edit boot.ini
    Add this line to the file boot.ini
   c:\boot.lnx "Red Hat LINUX 6.1"
c:\>attrib +r +s boot.ini

Now reboot the system and and you have a menu for win98, NT and linux.
