Win Me first, then Win2K. Then Linux. My pref is to use the Win2K
bootloader instead of lilo. For a good overview of how to do this go
here: http://morse.colorado.edu/itplab/ipv6/dualboot.html
It's written for NT, but W2K is exactly the same.
Some gotchas you need to be aware of:
1. WinMe must be installed in a primary partition of the first hd
2. W2K (NT) can be installed in either a primary or logical partition
of any hd, but the boot partition (the one with the NTLDR,NTDETECT.COM,
and BOOT.INI) must be completely within the first 2 gig of the first hd
in a primary partition.
3. Linux can be installed on any partition of any drive, but if you use
the NT bootloader LILO must be installed to the first linux partition,
not to the MBR. And make a LINUX BOOT DISK!
