My friend is currently running LInux+Win98. I think as long as you install
win98 first you'll be okay. The latest version of Fips (2.20 I think) will
even let you chop off part of the 98 partition if you didn't partition
before installing. After you run all the Linux installation stuff, and
it's installed properly, LILO will work just fine with win98. At least
my friend hasn't had any problems with it...
Hope this helps.
