Create your windows partition as primary, then your extentended partition. Put linux and windows second partition in your extended partition. You may want to put your boot image on the windows
partition
so that it is within the first 1024 cylinders.
Boot from bootable diskette dos/win98/win98 and use fdisk First create a primary partition of 6 GB and set it active. Next create a partition of the balance space. This will all go into the extended partition. format first partition with dos /win95/win98 floppy install windows on the first partition.
If I install Linux in the extended partition, will i be able to boot using lilo or some other boot manager tool ? and i also didn't understand what did u mean by
Next Boot through Linux CD and repartition the second partition (extended) to however way you want. Make sure you put the lilo within 1024 cylinders because older kernels have this limitation. Fdisk (from linux cd) will give you the cylinder no details. Accordingly create the partitions that you want for win98 (d:) swap, /boot, /usr and /root. Install lilo on the MBR.
