My Linux question: When I reinstall windowsSE on a dual boot Linux box, will
that overwrite my Linux MBR, and what should I do to prevent, or correct
that? Or, will I have to reinstall Mandrake 9.0 after I reinstall windows 98
to get the original lilo mbr reinstalled? Is there a simple procedure for
copying the lilo config file, and then replacing the new win98 mbr with lilo?
I'm not a linux expert, and am unclear on this.
Many thanks,

Yes, W98SE (et al) overwrites the MBR at install. You can boot CD1 and
press F1 at the screen instructions to get a rescue session, from which
you can reinstall lilo or grub to the MBR. Instructions are at this
page in MUO Docs:
