Here's how I'd do it.
first, take out the 10 gig drive. install win 98 on
the 40 gig as the first partition (say 10gb).
second, take out the 40gb drive, and install the
10gb drive.
third, install rh 5.1 on it.
fourth, reinstall the 40 gb drive as primary
master, w/ the 10gb as primary slave
fifth install LM 8.2 (not 8.1) on the 40gb drive,
usings its boot loader to install on the 40gb drive, having it boot 98, LM 8.2,
and being able to load the lilo for RH 5.1 on the 10gb.
But I haven't had to do this at all, so I can only
guess this would work (in theory).

Subject: [expert] How to install Win98,
RH 5.1 & Mandrake 8.1 ??
I have a PIII
with no OS, (with ATA33 controllers I believe), two empty HD,
(10 gig ...
probably ATA33, 40 gig ATA100) and need to install Windows 98
SE, RH 5.1
and Mandrake 8.1 (Please don't ask why ...that's what I HAVE
to
install).
I have been having fits trying to get the different
factors to work
together. Partitioning software (Dos fdisk, cfdisk,
diskdrake, fips.exe),
ATA 100, LBA, fat16, fat32, linux native, /mbr,
/root, first 1024 cylinders
etc. aaaahhhhhh!
Is there any way
to do this relatively simply? (I am linux challenged!)
Will the
use of boot floppies avoid having to get a /boot partition into the
first
1024 cylinders?
