Well troy you can do what I did,

Its quite easy, What i got is a 40 Gigs HDD I put a 6 Gb Win98 partition , then use PQmagic 5 to resize my win partitionto 3.5 GB since I dont use much of it, Then format the newly freed up space by dividing it into 2 partitions, use say 2 Gb as ext2 linux Partition , remainingsay 200 or some megs for linux SWAP,

well then I installed Win2k on my logical drive but U can skip this part and load any decent Linux distribution It will install lilo which will give you the option at booting whether to continue loading Windows or go with Linux

Thats it PQmagic is cool. Maybe my mathod wont be approved but my Pc's running well past 1 year or so without any problems with 3 OS 's
