Install Windows first or keep a Linux boot disk around. 2K likes to wipe the MBR and remove lilo when you install it. This can be annoying if you don't have the images or a floppy/CD on hand to boot from and restore it. I also usually create a small 1-5 Gig FAT partition to keep "source" files such as network drivers, etc on. That way I can boot into linux, save the sources to the FAT partition, boot into Windows and install incase I can't get on the network, or something else is horked.
