I can't help with this setup exactly, but I can give a tip I have discovered with debian about having them both (at least win95, and no reason why it shouldn't work with win98) on the same drive. I don't use lilo as the mbr, I just use Debian's mbr program, I also don't have lilo started automatically. I put win95 on the first partition and linux on the second. Since lilo doesn't start automatically at all (never runs), I always boot into win95 w/o a problem. If I want to boot into linux, I press the shift key during bootup, this causes the mbr to print out a veyr brief and mysterious prompt: like 1AF: I press A, (for all partitions I guess?) which puts out a prompt like 1234F: I then press 2 (for the second, i.e. linux partition), this then execs lilo. With this method, I can always make my kernels using make bzlilo and also gain the advantage of not annoying my mother and sisters in having to boot through lilo. Shaya
