Could be, but you haft'a remember there's all kinds of different
W9x versions out there. Biggest differences seem to be between the
OEM and 'retail' full install versions. At least in my experience.
I dual boot an OEM (less than kosher ;) ONLY W98 version without
any service packs/updates, and it's never interfered with lilo/grub,
doesn't even know that I have ReiserFS partitions, couldn't see ext2
partitons when I had them either. OTOH, I've seen retail versions of
W9x that can't stand anything but fat partitions on any drive, and
even worse, offer to 'fix' em ;> Since I NEVER connect to the Net
with Winblows, I don't bother with virus scanners, none installed.
