I've never heard of system commander but LILO is really easy to configure in
terms of adding new drives/partitions. Just look in you /etc/lilo.config file
and you should see the entry for your Linux partition and be able to get the
general syntax from that. You can do a man on lilo (I think) to dinf the exact
syntax for adding partitions. After you've finished editing the config file,
run the command 'lilo' and it will update the boot loader. For Windows
NTLoader, look on www.winfiles.com and/or microsoft's home page. Actually, you
can also find stuff on the Linux HOWTOs. I don't remember the name of the
utility, but you can generate a file that the NTLoader will read to allow it
to boot non-windows partitions. What you should do is install Win 9X first,
then NT (NT will configure the boot loader to handle win 9X by itself).
Install Linux last and boot Lilo on the super block of the root partition of
your Linux install (the one that is used for /).

Linux can read/write FAT32 and I believe there is an alpha driver for NTFS.
AFAIK, Win 9X can't see NTFS and NT can't see FAT32 (until NT 5.0). I could be
mistaken about that though.
