I can help you here. :) I've done this myself & it's not hard. What you need
is a primary partition (FAT16) onto which you throw Windows 98. Then you
need an extended partition, filling the remainder of the hard drive, onto
which you throw your D: drive (FAT32) and all your Linux partitions. W98
first, then Linux, is the way it worked on my system.
Also, you might consider buying _System Commander_ to manage your boot
sector.
When you install Linux, if you're using System Commander then install the
boot thingy on the _partition._
If you use the master drive for the Windows 98 and Linux main partitions,
you shouldn't have any problems. If you try to put one OS on the Master and
one on the Slave... I dunno. It sounds scary. ;)
Hope this helps :)
