Actually I am in a dilemma on which operating system 2 install first. I am planning to install Windows 98 SE, Linux 7.2 and then Window 2000. I want to make LILO my default boot loader. I think the Linux should be installed in the second partition itself and the size of the fisrt partiton cannot be greater than 4 GB.

I recommend installing Windoze 98 SE first, then Windoze 2000, and finally Linux. Win98 happily overwrites your boot record, so it really needs to be first. Win2000 is smart enough to recognize that another Windoze version is installed, and will install a boot loader that allows you to choose between the installations (Win98 and Win2000, in your case). LILO is capable of booting multiple O/Ss, so you probably want to have everything else installed before you configure LILO.

Note that this says nothing about how your disk should be partitioned, or which O/S should occupy each partition.

Hope this helps.
