Martin/James,
Cheers for your help.
What you can do is make lilo see Linux and the NT4 bootloader which in turn sees NT4 and 98/whatever. To do this:
Install 98 Install NT4 which will see 98 and install the bootloader Install Linux which will move the bootloader and put in lilo instead lilo then points at linux or the NT4 bootloader
Does this not depend where lilo resides, if you put it in the MBR then this would work but the NT loader needs the MBR all to its self (typical greedy Microsoft), therefore as I see it NT would not load? I could be completely wrong here though, it has been known on more than one occasion. :-)
so to boot linux do nothing at the prompt, to load nt4, type 'dos' then select nt4, to boot 98/whatever, select 'dos', then 98.
Simple solution if Martin's doesn't work out.
Thankfully Martin's solution is perfect and I now have the NT loader on boot with a menu to select between Linux, NT and Win98. BTW I found the how-to after I posted and it gave a solution pretty much as Martin's although it seems that Martin writes in English rather than "How-toeze".
This is my first time playing around with NT and so far I have found it the biggest pile of crap that I have ever had the misfortune to encounter. For an Industry standard, supposedly secure/bomb proof OS it stinks. The install procedure is so confusing, give me Red Hat any day.
Cheers,
BJ
