Ah, if the XP partition is NTFS, forget what I said about giving 98 only 1 GB, since it'd gonna need space for programs etc, as it can't read NTFS :\


Don't put the Linux bootloader in the MBR, because that will wipe XPs, unless you intend to add XP and 98 to the Linux boot menu instead (don't ask me how, I 've never done that, I only know it's possible )


GRUB should be fine in /boot - that's the only other place you can put it if not in the MBR anyway. As for the 1024 cylinder limit, I've no idea, I guess you could make the Win98 partiiton small enough so /boot starts below the limit if you don't want to risk anything.
