I recommend installing Windows ME first, then Windows 2000, then linux. The reason for this is Linux is the most friendly to other OS's. As long as your are using the newest LILO (LInux LOader) it will boot Linux and any other OS from anywhere on the disk. Windows 2000 is friendly enough to dual boot WinME and itself (at least it could do Win98) and WinME is so unfriendly it will just over write and other boot record with its own.

I'd do it in that order to, but I'd use Win2000's bootloader because it's a menu so you just pick on with the arrow keys and enter instead of typing for lilo

Yes, I'm *that* lazy. :)

Insall Win9x/ME, then Win2000 and it will setup a boot for both, then add linux do Win2k's boot.ini.

1. 2GB for Windows ME C: FAT32
2. 2GB for Windows 2000 Prof D: NTFS
3. 2GB for LINUX

Will I have the 1024-cy limitation when I install the LINUX?

Thanks
