I was reading the ``Linux-DOS-Win95-OS2'' mini-HOWTO and he was saying it is
possible to have Primary paritions for DOS, Windows and Linux. I wanted to
create three primary partitions and one extended partition so that I could run
Windows 98, Windows 2000 and Linux or maybe two versions of Linux and Windows
2000. So, Linux doesn't have to be (but can be) installed on a primary
partition? If LILO only can boot between two OSes, then will another boot
manager like System Commander or the one that comes with Partition magic will
be needed?
