No No. Im sorry. From my experience, knowledge and testings, I have got this:
When I have installed NT loader after installing Linux, Linux showed up in
the menu and I only had to choose it from the menu and press ENTER. Im not
telling this because "I heard it from...". I tested this and thats what I
have got.
Again, Its not regarding to other windows versions 95/98. They overwrite
your MBR and LILO is gone after installing them so I cant recommend this.
