Right now I have Slackware Linux and Windows ME installed, currently I am booting using Lilo. I am about to install Windows 2k Pro, just wondering what is going to happen? will it overwrite Lilo? will I have to compile Lilo to boot all three OS's or will the Win2k boot loader do that?

jfall, yes it will overwrite your mbr and LILO with the 2k loader. Personally, I like the 2k loader much more than LILO so I'm configuring it to boot Linux as well(as soon as I get linux working). All you gotta do is reinstall LILO from the console if you wanna use that, pretty easy.

Reinstall LILO on your /boot partiton instead of your MBR (use / if you do not have a separate /boot). Install Win2K. Grab bootpart from www.winimage.com to add Linux to the NT loader menu.
