I have the same setup spread across 3 HD's. If you put some thought into
partitioning then getting it all on one HD shouldn't be too bad. Basically
I have win98 on my first drive with a small partition under the 1024th
cyclinder for /boot. Then I have NT on my 2nd drive and Linux on the 3rd.
If you install Win9x first, then NT and Linux the bootloaders seem to live
together happily and it's simpliest to setup that way. LILO pops up first
and I can boot Linux or "DOS". If I select "DOS" then NT's bootloader pops
up where I can select NT or 98. Also, I suggest using FAT16 for your Win9x
partition so you have a place to easily share files between OS's, since NT4
doesn't support FAT32 and you need beta drivers in Linux for FAT32 and NTFS.
