[IamDavid]

I'm setting up my home pc with all the diff. O/S I have.
Linux
Win2k
BeOs
Win98se or WinME

Do I need a boot manager or somthing?

 

[Isaiah]

Yes you need a boot manager I like Power Quest's Boot Magic. Here is some more info on it Boot Magic

Also another good boot manager is OSL2000 , it's very easy to set up , and I think it's pretty powerful , by the way , Win2K has it's own boot manager, but as far as I know , it will support only other windows'es

Linux and BeOs will not work with w2k boot manager
w2k's boot manager only support other windows OS's

Isaiah, you are wrong. I have two machines triple booting win98, win2k, and RedHat Linux 6.1 using the win2k boot manager. Here are some links:

You could also use the Linux boot loader (lilo):

Thanx for all the advise. Think I'm gonna buy the powerquest one.

Better check....don't think it'll work with WinME!!!

Hi,
Yes the win2K bootManager can support other Oses too...
But anyway if u are so unsure ..You can use OSL etccc...
But OSL is the best with a great GUI.

See the link below. Everything will work with some careful planning.
