I'm building a computer, and I want to partition the 10GB drive for
multi-boot among Win98 (Office and games), Slackware, and RedHat.
I've read all the HOW-TOs, but am still a little confused about the
best way to partition the disk and install the OSes. Do I need three
boot partitions under 1024 cylinders? How much space will each OS take
up? Can I usefully share some directories (Netscape, say) between Linux
distributions, or should I plan to install and configure even large
applications twice? Should I install Windows first? Last? Which FDISK
should I use to carve up the space?
I'd like to boot from LILO, if possible, and avoid LOADLIN.

Thanks in advance,
Jeremy
