you can use any boot manager you want but you can use only one. you can't use the win98 bootloader since it only knows how to load win98. you can either use the win2k bootloader or lilo/grub. you have to install a bootloader to the mbr since the BIOS looks in the mbr for information on how to start the system. when the BIOS finds the bootloader, the bootloader takes over and you can select which partition to boot from. configure whichever bootloader you want to use so that you'll be able to boot all three systems. -justin -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
