This subject is amply covered in many HOWTOs so why ask readers here to
reinvent the wheel for you?  Visit http://www.linuxdoc.org, or
http://www.linuxstart.com for instance, or http://linux.tucows.com, and
look at the documentation.

I can say that at least with Win 98 it is quite possible to have a
multiboot option.  IN my case I set up a small OS/2 Boot Manager partition
on my c: drive and put LILO, the LInux LOader boot menu program, in there,
but there are other alternatives.  BTW, when you install Windows 2000 Pro,
if you choose Complete Install instead of Upgrade, Microsoft says that
"this permits multiple operating systems on the same machine."  Very
progressive of them.  Usually their products just stomp on any boot
partition that exists.
