[Gllug] Triple booting woes

[Russell Mackenzie]

Just thought I'd mention that you can install winme(and 98 I guess) after
you've installed win2000.  You then use y2k, er, w2k's 4 boot disks to do a
repair and that'll add a w2k option to the win bootloader. And if you have a
Grub floppy you can install Linux before the others.  I've always heard the
order should be 98 then 2k then linux (in order of crappiness) but if you
have the above floppies, any order goes.  Iirc, rh7.2 gives the option of
lilo or grub, so maybe this is a sign of migration?

Btw, let me know if you can install 98 twice.  I tried and failed the other
night.  It would save me having to reinstall it every 3 months -  seriously,
fourth time now, every 3 months without fail! I only get to use
start->shutdown for the first two months!
