does anybody know how to triboot with win 98 xp and Mandrake 8.1 i have tried at least 3 time and every time i had to reinstall all thre OS's I NEED HELP
 
Install Windows 98, then install Windows XP, then install Mandrake.

That should set up up with a triple boot. When you boot up, you should see Mandrake's bootloader with a choice for either Windows or Mandrake. Pick Windows, and you see XP''s bootloader where you can pick between XP and Win98.
 
yea i figured out the way 98 then xp then mandrake but i was tryin to get it so all three os's would work on the mandrake boot loader. I managed it in Lycrois but i quickly realized i didn't like that os and i don't know how to configure the boot loader in mandrake because i'm not very familiar with mandrake
 
Look at /etc/lilo.conf

You'd have to put in an entry for Win98 if you wanted it to show up on the menu.
 
YAY i figured it out i just used a cool program called bootpart and addeed Mandrake to the win XP boot record it was soooooo easy that way:D :D :D :D :D
