Use Partition Magic to do your partitioning and then install with the boot disk of Linux.
Myself, I've never really "liked" Partition Magic (ok, I'm cheap... LOL) -- I just tend to use the Winblowz Fdisk or Fdisk32, and do it all "by hand." But, yes, PM should make it a lot easier.
most important part here is to install win first...it needs the first bit of the hd to boot...anything else is there and you are sol...(this also goes for a dual 9x/2k system...2k is happy to install behind a 9x install...but not the other way round...)...i actually had a tri boot box here for a while.. (98/2k/RH) but i finally put RH on separate box...just coz i had a 333 celeron lyin around...
I remember a long while ago I actually had an NT, Winblows and a BSD box altogether on one system... each sitting on its own drive on a SCSI chain. I could then use the Adaptec SCSI BIOS and effectively tell it which one to boot as it was coming up... worked pretty well for a while.
